Two Snapshots of Rodlike Filaments

Caption: Fig. 1: Two snapshots of rodlike filaments (blue) on a surface coated with immobilized molecular motors (yellow). (a) At low motor surface density the filaments display no order. (b) Above a threshold value for the motor density, the filaments spontaneously order into a parallel pattern.
