Data for "An analytical model describing the mechanics of erythrocyte membrane wrapping during active invasion of a plasmodium falciparum merozoite"

MATLAB CODE

One archive file “Analytical model code.zip” contains Matlab code files:

• Rungekutta_graphs.m: Main code that combines all other functions and calculates meridian and circumferential stretches, stresses, tensions, indentation work, indentation force. The code also plots graphs.
• Marea.m: The script that computes the surface area of the malaria merozoites.
• Funsys11e1.m: The function that computes the meridian and circumferential stretches by using the fourth order Runge-Kutta method.
• fr22.m: The non-dimensional tension numerical data based on Mooney Rivlin.
• pr22.m: The non-dimensional tension based on the Hooke’s law.

NUMERICAL DATA

One Excel file “Numerical data.xlsx” with three sheets

• data_As<4%_E=1kPa
• data_As<51%_E=1kPa
• data_E=0.5kPa

The sheets “data_As<4%_E=1kPa” and “data_As<51%_E=1kPa” present data for the erythrocyte membrane with an elastic modulus of 1 kPa for the maximum areal strain of the erythrocyte membrane of less than 4 and 51%, respectively. 

The sheet “data_E=0.5kPa” presents parasite indentation numerical data for small <4% and large <51% erythrocyte membrane areal strain.
