Method "[Researchers] examined the polymerization dynamics of individual ParM filaments by total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy of Alexa 488–labeled ParM."
Comments "At all ParM concentrations above 2µM the average filament length was 1.5µm, which suggests that length is determined primarily by an intrinsic property of the filaments (Fig. 1F)."
