Stochastic modelling of a three-dimensional glycogen granule synthesis and impact of the branching enzyme

Fig 7

Effect of the minimal lengths of the branching mechanism on the CLD.

Top-left: CLD for , 4, and 6, respectively. When increases, a multi-modal distribution emerges. Top-right: CLD for , 4, and 6, respectively. When increases, the peak is reduced and the overall distribution spreads towards higher DPs. Bottom-left: CLD for , 4, and 6, respectively. When increases, the distribution shifts towards higher DPs. Bottom-right: CLD for , 4, and 6, respectively. Varying these distinct minimal lengths concomitantly, combines the individual effects described above, when a single length is varied. Each CLD is the result of averaging 200 simulations of granules with 5,000 glucose units each.
