Interactions in the the MEDYAN model.
A) A Schematic representation of two arbitrary points on the cylinders i and j, used to calculate excluded volume interactions. B) Representation of branching points. Position of the branching point on the “mother” filament is determined by a stochastic chemical reaction. C) Representation of the motor as a potential between two points
and
on bound cylinders. Positions of the binding points α and β are determined by stochastic chemical reactions.
