We investigate the Brownian dynamics of a nanoparticle bound to a thermally undulating elastic membrane. The ligand-functionalized nanoparticle is assumed to interact monovalently with the receptor expressed on the membrane. In order to resolve the nanoparticle transient motion subject to the instan...
