The mobility of membrane proteins controls many biological functions. Theapplication of the model of Saffman and Delbr\"uck to the diffusion of membraneproteins does not account for all the experimental measurements. Thesediscrepancies have triggered a lot of studies on the role of the mechanicalfactors in the mobility. After a short review of the Saffman and Delbr\"uckmodel and of some key experiments, we explore the various ways to incorporatethe effects of the different mechanical factors. Our approach focuses on thecoupling of the protein to the membrane, which is the central element in themodelling. We present a general, polaron-like model, its recent application tothe mobility of a curvature sensitive protein, and its various extensions toother couplings that may be relevant in future experiments.
