    • In samples less than 25 mum thick nonspecific absorption of tubulin on glass becomes significant and the tubulin concentration is not well controlled. A measurement of this effect is given in [5].

    • A parametrization of the microtubule length l to the turbidity Mstar at a wavelength of 0.35 mum scattered light gives Mstarapp 200 l2 for l<0.2 mum and Mstarapp 60 l -4 for l>0.2 mum (Appendix of [10]). The most sensitive case is the one with the fastest nucleation rate (C=19 μ M). In this case microtubules grow at a rate v approx 0.1 mum/sec and thus reach the linear regime in a time τ =2 sec after nucleation. Assuming the nucleation rate increases with time R(t) prop talpha, the turbidity at time t, integrated over all previous nucleation events, is Mstar(t) = tint0tR(t prime ) Mstar (l=v̇(t-t prime ) )d t prime pp [6/( α +1)( α +2)] tα+2 - [4/( α +1)] tα+1 +4 τ talpha to lowest order in tau, where both t and tau are in seconds. The first term dominates once t>2( α +2)/3. For typical values of α app 3, this happens when t>3 sec.
