We also establish and validate analytical relationships between rate constants, MT tip structures, and overall MT behavior; a key result of these analytical solutions is the identification of three random variables that sufficiently describe the tip structure and strongly correlate with the o -rate. cache/cc08hd79z4j.txt txt/cc08hd79z4j.txt
