Figure 8. The mean transport time of a 15 nm diameter cargo complex is ms (SEM) that is averaged over 150 independent runs.As it can be seen, the transport time is scattered over a wide range from 0.5 ms to 8 ms. The transport time can be viewed as the first passage time [80] if an absorbing wall is imagined in the nuclear compartment where the cargo is released. The histograms show the distribution of the first passage time that obeys the inverse Gaussian. Red dashed lines show the best fitted inverse Gaussian distribution with the scale parameter and the mean value 2.6 ms. Solid black line shows the cumulative distribution function (cdf) obtained from simulation results and blue dash lines represent cdf of the inverse Gaussian that is in a good agreement with simulation results.
