Figure 5: Comparison of VSG diffusion analysed by SPT or FRAP measurements.

The impact of the lateral protein density in supported membranes on the diffusion of wild type (a) or N-glycosylation deficient VSG121 (b) was analysed using SPT (grey squares) and FRAP (black squares). The error bars in y (diffusion coefficient) represent the standard deviation of the mean, while the error bars in x (average free distance) depict the range. SPT, single-particle tracking.
