Efficient models of polymerization applied to FtsZ ring assembly in Escherichia coli [Biophysics and Computational Biology]

High protein concentrations complicate modeling of polymer assembly kinetics by introducing structural complexity and a large variety of protein forms. We present a modeling approach that achieves orders of magnitude speed-up by replacing distributions of lengths and widths with their average counterparts and by introducing a hierarchical classification of species...
