ProtNet pseudocell dynamic organization. The three boxes represent snapshots of the same pseudocell frozen at different steps during the simulation. In the first box protein monomers of different protein species are represented with different colors. After 5000 steps many small complexes are formed as a result of the diffusion and interaction dynamics. The size of the circles reflects the number of protein species in the complexes. Smaller spheres correspond to monomeric proteins. Complexes with the same number of protein species but different composition have different random colors. The third snapshot represents a psuedocell at equilibrium.
