Summary of the physical role of the parameters
| Parameters | Physical role | 
|---|---|
| ωs | characteristic frequency setting the timescale τs = 1/ωs of the end of the ballistic regime | 
| ω0 | characteristic frequency of the transient confining potential | 
| ξs | friction component coming from the instantaneous response | 
| ξp | friction component coming from the retarded response; it is the leading term in the asymptotic diffusion coefficient | 
| ξp + ξs | total macroscopic friction felt by the protein | 
| τ | timescale of the retarded (elastic) response of the lipid membrane | 
| δ, λ, ν | δλ = ν to asymptotically get the Brownian regime; they shape the transition from subdiffusive-to-Brownian regime |
