Appendix 6—figure 1. Results for the confined microtubule-motor protein assembly simulations with $D_{cyl}=0.25\mathrm{\mu }\mathrm{m}$.

(A) A kymograph of the local microtubule packing fraction ${\varphi }_{local}(x)$. Initially, crosslinking motor proteins drive contraction of the system into condensed regions that break into PSBs over time. (B) A kymograph of the local nematic order parameter $S_{\mathrm{local}}^x(x)$. (C) A kymograph of the density of the crosslinking motor proteins, $C(x)$. Condensation of microtubules coincides with condensation of the crosslinking motor proteins. (D) Pair distribution function for microtubule plus-ends (top) and microtubule centers (bottom).
