Cell Migration (MSD and RMSD)
Cell Migration (MSD and RMSD).
1.You are given the mean squared displacement (MSD) in microns^2 and time in minutes for one cell’s position. Plot MSD and root mean displacement (RMSD) versus time. Then plot the derivative, d[log(RMSD)]/d[log(time)] versus time. This derivative is the exponent a in the expression RMSD ~ time^a. Comment on the ‘random walk’ nature of this cell’s migration.
The MSD information is given in the attached Excel sheet
