Figure 3.

The elongation characteristics upon varying the substrate binding rate k_II+ in the three-state scheme. The elongation rate J (a); the error rate Err in the logarithmic value (b); and the entropy production per cycle ${\Xi }_p$ (c) are shown versus k_II+ (left) or versus the free energy expenditure H_d (right). The corresponding characteristic values at the default value of k_II+ = 4.7 × 10³ s⁻¹ ([NTP] = 588 uM) are labeled by stars. Note that the entropy production rate ${\dot{\Xi }}_p$ is also shown in the inset of (c) right.
