    "abstract": "In E. coli, accurate cell division depends upon the oscillation of Min\nproteins from pole to pole. We provide a model for the polar localization of\nMinD based only on diffusion, a delay for nucleotide exchange, and different\nrates of attachment to the bare membrane and the occupied membrane. We derive\nanalytically the probability density, and correspondingly the length scale, for\nMinD attachment zones. Our simple analytical model illustrates the processes\ngiving rise to the observed localization of cellular MinD zones.",
