From: The flexibility and dynamics of the tubules in the endoplasmic reticulum
A schematic diagram that shows a fragment of the ER network’s tubular structure (not to scale). The distance between the branch points is in the range 1–5 μm, the inner tubule diameter is 80 nm and the outer tubule diameter is 88 nm. Transverse fluctuations were measured based on the transverse mean square displacements \((\langle {\rm{\Delta }}{r}_{\perp }^{2}(\tau )\rangle )\), shown in Fig. 4. The branched regions are labelled in blue in which specific S-type proteins are thought to occur41.
