From: Hemoglobin S and C affect biomechanical membrane properties of P. falciparum-infected erythrocytes
Membrane fluctuation spectra obtained from uninfected and P. falciparum-infected erythrocytes at the ring and trophozoite stage. a Mean squared displacement (MSD) as a function of the wavenumber qx. b The corresponding power spectrum density (PSD) as a function of frequency f. U (red); uninfected, R (orange); ring phase, and T (yellow); trophozoite. Representative spectra from single cell measurements are shown. The two different power law exponents predicted by the theoretical model for the low and high values of the wavenumber qx and the frequency f respectively, are presented to guide the eye
