Particle-based simulations of polarity establishment reveal stochastic promotion of Turing pattern formation
Fig 6
Stochasticity facilitates polarization.
Bifurcation plots showing polarization, measured by H(r = 0.5 μm), versus parameters influencing the total particle numbers in the simulation. (A) Varying Cdc42 concentration on a fixed domain. (B) Varying GEF concentration on a fixed domain. (C) Varying the simulation area and particle numbers at constant concentrations. Bifurcations were found via linear stability analysis of the deterministic RDEs.
