Why does actin subunit addition outpace nucleotide hydrolysis at the plus end but not at the minus end?

#Unit 2. Cellular Organization
  1. The plus end has a higher affinity for ATP-actin than the minus end.
  2. The minus end actively degrades actin subunits.
  3. The minus end has a higher affinity for ATP-actin than the plus end.
  4. The plus end lacks ATPase activity.
