Coarse-Grained Simulation of Myosin-V Movement

Figure 5

Cumulative step plots. (a) The position on the actin track ( -axis, actin units) for a single myosin leg is plotted at each frame ( -axis) for the three models with differing leg lengths: myoV-2IQ (red), myoV-4IQ (green), and myoV-6IQ (blue). The positions include both loose and tight binding modes. (b) All data points over all simulations for the three models (coloured as in (a)) over the initial 3000 frames or 2 laps (104 actins) if shorter, with solid lines in same colors indicating lines of best fit to the data, respectively.
