(a) Natural log of the fraction of cells not containing aggregates as a function of time (time after FACS sorting is shown on graph), showing exponential decline. (b) Concentration-dependence of the rate constant zeta for aggregate formation. The form of the nucleation rate constant for each of the models under consideration is as follows: zeta=VcellNAk+Kn*C2httex1 (Model 1a); zeta=VcellNAkmisfoldC2httex1 (Model 1b); zeta=VcellNAk+Kn*2C2httex1 (Model 2). The solid line is the least-squares fit to the leading constant for a second-order concentration-dependence (zeta = alphaChttex12; Models 1a and 2). The dotted line is the least-squares fit to a first-order concentration-dependence (zeta = betaChttex1; Model 1b). Error bars denote 95% confidence intervals, n = 95 cells on average for each point in a, n = 647 cells on average for each point in b.
