Effect of the timestep of the simulations on the percentage of ligated integrins.

A. Average percentage of ligated integrins varying timestep, in the presence (fiber) or absence (no fiber) of actin bundling. When present, a fiber of 300 nm width is used. B. Average percentage of ligated integrins varying timestep, and using k = 0.2 pN/nm and k = 0.4 pN/nm. An actomyosin force of 20 pN is applied to ligated integrins in the fiber area, considering a fiber width of 300 nm. All data are computed between 100–500 s, from 3 independent runs. Errorbars indicate standard error from the mean. (TIFF)
