Comparison between experiments (dots) and simulations (dashed and solid lines) with pure depolymerisation models.

<p>The initial concentration is 3<i>μM</i>. Left: SEC data at times 0 min (black), 15 min (blue), 125 min (green) and 270 min (yellow). Right: SLS data (black dots: experimental, red dashed and solid: simulations). Dashed curves (Left and Right) correspond to <i>k</i>_on = 0<i>μM</i>⁻¹. min⁻¹, <i>k</i>_dep = 0.16 min⁻¹: the position of the peak for the first time <i>t</i> = 15 min is correct for the size distribution, but its height is not and nor is the slope of the SLS data. Solid curves (Left and Right) correspond to <i>k</i>_on = 0<i>μM</i>⁻¹. min⁻¹, <i>k</i>_dep = 1 min⁻¹: the slope for SLS data fits well at the beginning, but the size-distribution has shifted too much to the left.
