“Mini-ribbon collection” and “free mini-stack dimers plus linear ribbon” Golgi models. A Cartoon illustrating a model whereby the Golgi is composed of short ribbons of 3 mini-stacks (l = 3). WPBs of size 1Q, 2Q or 3Q can be made depending on probability of mini-stack occupancy, p. B For a Golgi made as described in A, the expected frequency distributions of 1Q-, 2Q- and 3Q-WPBs at the indicated values of p are shown. C Cartoon illustrating a model whereby the Golgi structure is made of free mini-stack dimers, present in proportion q, and a long linear ribbon. D based on the model in C, WPB size distributions calculated for p = 0.75 and the indicated values of q are shown (stars) in comparison to the measured size distribution (blue bars)
