    "abstract": "The Min system in Escherichia coli directs division to the centre of the cell\nthrough pole-to-pole oscillations of the MinCDE proteins. We present a one\ndimensional stochastic model of these oscillations which incorporates membrane\npolymerisation of MinD into linear chains. This model reproduces much of the\nobserved phenomenology of the Min system, including pole-to-pole oscillations\nof the Min proteins. We then apply this model to investigate the Min system\nduring cell division. Oscillations continue initially unaffected by the closing\nseptum, before cutting off rapidly. The fractions of Min proteins in the\ndaughter cells vary widely, from 50%-50% up to 85%-15% of the total from the\nparent cell, suggesting that there may be another mechanism for regulating\nthese levels in vivo.",
