From: The bacterial cell division proteins FtsA and FtsZ self-organize into dynamic cytoskeletal patterns

Supplementary Figure 3

Snapshots, maximum intensity projections (MIP) and kymographs of single FtsZ filaments from movies acquired at a frame-rate of 2s or 400 ms (FtsZ = 0.45 μM with 30 mol-% FtsZ-Alexa488, FtsA = 0.2 μM). Cyan arrowheads in MIPs indicate the first binding of FtsZ to the membrane. Yellow arrows in kymograph show the polymerization direction. Top left, with grey background. Scale bars correspond to 500 nm or 5 s. Values in grey box (top left) represent average values of n = 38 analyzed filaments from 5 independent experiments.
