Line Plot from Scientific Research

Fraction of the parallel (polar) alignment of filaments as a function of simulation time. The FtsZ L169R was simulated with two times higher persistence and length than WT, no intrinsic curvature and eight times lower v 0 (parameters v 0 = 3.625 d/τ, Pe = 300, ℱ = 20, L fL169R = 16 d , d θ = 0 rad, ϕ = 0.22–0.88). Although FtsZ WT prefers to align in a parallel orientation, FtsZ L169R stays aligned in a nematic fashion until the end of simulations.
