Dynamics and length distributions of microtubules with a multistep catastrophe mechanism

Regarding the experimental observation that microtubule (MT) catastrophe can be described as a multistep process, we extend the Dogterom–Leibler model for dynamic instability in order to discuss the effect that such a multistep catastrophe mechanism has on the distribution of MT lengths in the two r...
