Fig. 6. Nucleoli-chromatin interactions promote cluster nucleation.

Fig. 6

a The free energy profiles of droplet coalescence at various nucleolar particle-chromatin interactions. The result for ϵ = 1.8 is identical to the one presented in Fig. 3. Error bars were calculated as standard deviation of the mean using block averaging by dividing the simulation trajectories into five blocks of equal length. b Number of droplets formed at the end of 12 independent dynamical simulations at various strengths of nucleolar particle-chromatin interactions. Error bars correspond to standard deviations of results from independent trajectories. c The maximum number of clusters observed in dynamical trajectories performed at various nucleolar particle-chromatin interactions. d The fraction of cluster switching events following the Brownian motion-induced coalescence (BMC, blue) and the diffusion-limited Ostwald ripening (DOR, red) at various nucleolar particle-chromatin interactions.
