Minutes from first frame after NEB to first frame including the initial signs of cytokinesis and/or telophase membrane blebbing (in cells that exited mitosis).
N = total numbers of cells (pooled from ≥2 separate long-term recordings obtained on different days).
Mean duration of mitosis in hours.
Percentage of cells that exited mitosis (versus dying in mitosis).
These data are from a single experiment.
An Eg5 inhibitor (and nonnatural derivative of the α–amino acid cysteine).
An Eg5 inhibitor (a new monastrol analogue).
