Red-cell shape is encoded in the mechanical properties of the membrane. The plasma membrane contributes bending rigidity; the protein-based membrane skeleton contributes stretch and shear elasticity. When both effects are included, membrane mechanics can reproduce in detail the full stomatocyte-cliscocyteechinocyte sequence by variation of a single parameter related to the bilayer couple originally introduced by Sheetz and Singer.
