Statistical Mechanics and Thermodynamics of Viral Evolution
Fig 5
The figure shows the normalized eigenstates, P(m), vs. the number of matches, m, as a function of temperature and maximum immune response, A. Each distribution, P(m), represents the quasispecies distribution (i.e. probability of a given number of matches) at fixed A and temperature. The temperatures shown here are 0.01,0.03,0.05,0.1,0.3,0.5,1,2,3,4,5,10,…,100*,110,120,130,140,150,200,250,300 (*step by 5) for each immunity indicated. Low temperature is represented by the narrow distribution at high match (at far right).
