The lag phase for infinite polymers (filaments, sheets, and crystals) is the time required for forming that one nucleus. For finite polymers, nucleation occurs continuously throughout the reaction, the lag phase is the time required to build a steady-state population of intermediates, essentially an assembly line [47,75]. Thus, for capsids, the lag phase is directly proportional to the elongation rate, the rate of addition of subunits to a growing capsid [61]. Conversely, once the steady state of intermediates is established, the rate of capsid appearance is equal to the rate of nucleation, most easily measured when the reaction is plateauing [47].
