Kinetic Modeling of the Assembly, Dynamic Steady State, and Contraction of the FtsZ Ring in Prokaryotic Cytokinesis
Figure 4
Influence of the Annealing Reaction on the FtsZ Polymer Distributions In Vitro.
The concentrations of polymers of lengths Zi at the final time (30 s) are plotted as functions of length i. Inset shows the distribution for cyclized polymers. Parameters are the same as in Fig. 2 A–B except that Ztot = 10 µM, kan = 0, 0.1, 0.5, 2, 5, 10, and 20 µM−1 s−1 as shown.
