Decreasing receptor diffusivity increases dimerisation. Simulated testing of altered receptor diffusivity to assess receptor dimerisation, with otherwise fixed parameters. For convenience, receptor velocity was taken as v = D^½. Diffusivity varied from 2^–5, 2^–3, …, to 2⁵. The simulation shows a decrease in dimer number at an increased diffusivity. Data are shown in a semi-log2 scale; mean ± SD (n = 3 simulations).
