Characterization of the protein-covered cytoplasmic side of the turtle erythrocyte membranes. A AFM topographic images of the smooth outer surface of the turtle erythrocytes membranes. B AFM topographic image of the cytoplasmic side membrane. Scale bar: 5 µm in A and B. C The height of proteins above the membrane ranges from 1 to 27 nm with the peak at 10–16 nm. D The diameter distribution of proteins in the cytoplasmic side membrane varies from 15 to 200 nm with 70% falling between 40 and 80 nm. Reprinted from Tian et al.
