title: The shape of a membrane protein derived from rotational diffusion.
abstract: Membrane proteins are modelled as cylinders with an elliptic cross-section in the plane of the membrane. The coefficient for rotational diffusion about the cylinder axis is calculated as a function of the axial ratio of the elliptic cross-section.
