Association kinetics for different occupancy values. The 3D model was used for three different simulations in which the number of proteins initially seeded were varied to reach a final occupancy of 10%, 20% and 40%. Every 100 time steps the number of monomers, dimers, trimers and tetramers were counted and plotted as a function of the time steps. The figures in the ordinates represent the number of molecules at occupancy 10%. The curves for occupancies of 0.2 and 0.4 were adjusted accordingly for sake of clarity and comparison to take into account the different number of starting monomers in the grid.
