At intermediate concentrations of actin subunits, the plus end of the filament remains in the T conformation, while the minus end adopts the D conformation because:

#Unit 2. Cellular Organization
  1. Rate of subunit addition to be slower than nucleotide hydrolysis at the plus end, but faster than nucleotide hydrolysis at the minus end.
  2. Rate of subunit dissociation to be faster than nucleotide hydrolysis at the plus end, but slower than nucleotide hydrolysis at the minus end.
  3. Rate of subunit dissociation to be slower than nucleotide hydrolysis at the plus end & minus end.
  4. Rate of subunit addition to be faster than nucleotide hydrolysis at the plus end, but slower than nucleotide hydrolysis at the minus end.
