A composite CG model of the human RBC membrane. (A–C) The one-agent–thick lipid bilayer model and the spectrin network model for uninfected (A1 and A2), trophozoite-stage (B1 and B2), and schizont-stage (C1 and C2) RBCs, respectively. (D) Vertical associations between the overlying lipid bilayer and the spectrin network in normal (D1) and Pf-infected (D2) membranes. (E) The composite CG model integrating the lipid bilayer and the spectrin network. Green, normal lipid agents; yellow, lipid agents representing the knobby region; red, actin oligomers; blue, ankyrins; and gray, spectrin beads.
