We consider the possibility of inferring the nature of cytoskeletal interaction with transmembrane proteins via optical experiments such as single-particle tracking (SPT) and near-field scanning optical microscopy (NSOM). In particular, we demonstrate that it may be possible to differentiate between static and dynamic barriers to diffusion by examining the time-dependent variance and higher moments of protein population inside cytoskeletal "corrals." Simulations modeling Band 3 diffusion on the surface of erythrocytes provide a concrete demonstration that these statistical tools might prove useful in the study of biological systems.
