Figure 2

The black squares indicate VSG diffusion coefficients and grey squares represent the corresponding mobile fractions. Trend lines are inserted as a guide for the reader’s eye. At high concentrations of non-VSG proteins (5–10% DOPE-biotin) the diffusion coefficients decrease more than 15-fold and VSG mobility is reduced to 20%. At low concentrations of non-VSG (0.1–1% DOPE-biotin) the diffusion coefficients are decreased fourfold, whereas the mobile fraction is reduced to 70%. Data are presented as means±s.d.
