We studied mathematical models for the length distributions of actin filaments under the effects of polymerization/depolymerization, and fragmentation. In this paper, we emphasize the effects of these two processes acting alone. In this case, simple discrete and continuous models can be derived and

In a previous paper, we studied elementary models for polymerization, depolymerization, and fragmentation of actin filaments (Edelstein-Keshet and Ermentrout, 1988, Bull. Math. Biol. 60, 449-475). When these processes act together, more complicated dynamics occur. We concentrate on a particular case

During actin polymerization, it has been theorized that the actin filament length distribution initially grows in the form of a Gaussian before converting to produce that of an exponential. However, it has been difficult to demonstrate this experimentally. In this study, we use modern fluorescence m
