About The Project

The three MATLAB codes are designed to enable user to perform stochastic simulation of formin mediated filament elongations using experimentally determined parameters.

• The formin_processivity_steps program is designed to use experimentally determined probability of formin dissociation per step to stochastically simulate formin mediated filament elongations for 12,000 filaments.
• The formin_processivity_time program is designed to use experimentally determined probability of formin dissociation per time to stochastically simulate formin mediated filament elongations for 12,000 filaments.
• The formin_processivity_prediction program is designed to stochastically simulate formin mediated filament elongation for user-defined values of fraction FH1 monomer usage along with a series of elongation rates.

The work is supported by NIH and by the Genetics and Cell Biology department of University of Minnesota, Twin-cities.
