Bar Plot from Scientific Research

Filament curvature and cell geometry drive the collective filament orientation along the cell circumference. Top, illustration of the curvature-sensing mechanism of FtsZ and FtsA filaments. Middle, measured distribution of filament orientations with and without filament curvature. Each bar plot corresponds to the average over N = 10 replicas in the nematic order region of the parameter space (r on = 8 s -1 , tau det =15 s ). Bottom, two representative snapshots of steady-state configurations of treadmilling filaments with and without filament curvature.
