Comments "[Researchers'] model does not take into account the geometry of the actin network around the patch, but the actin filament network might influence diffusion of the reactants and limit the rates of the reactions. However, the following calculations show that diffusion of small proteins does not limit actin patch assembly. [Researchers] estimate from [their] simulations that proteins from the cytoplasm are consumed at the maximum following rates: actin monomers 4462 s^-1, Arp2/3 complex 70 s^-1, capping protein 60 s^-1, and cofilin 510 s^-1."
