Excitable actin dynamics and amoeboid cell migration
Fig 5
Shape and velocity of traveling waves in one dimension.
A) Actin and active nucleator concentrations c (green) and na (orange) for va = 0.8 and ωd = 0.35. Dots are from a numerical solution, solid lines are obtained from the variational ansatz Eq (23) and the solution Eq (39). B, C) Wave speed as a function of the actin polymerization velocity va (B) and the nucleator inactivation parameter ωd (C). All other parameters as in Table 1.
