Simulations of membrane protein diffusion at protein densities of 3100 μ m^-2 and 6200 μ m^-2 (open circles and squares, respectively) reveal a distinct reduction of the diffusion coefficient with varying lengths of the protein soluble domain, L_P. Error bars are smaller than symbol size. Empirically, the gross tendency is well described by a scaling (dashed line). Simulation data are in agreement with the corresponding experimental data for VSG proteins at 9 nm spacing (red filled circles). Inset: Snapshot of the simulation. For better visibility water beads are not shown, and periodic images of simulation boxes are displayed.
