Investigation of Shape Transformations of Vesicles, Induced by Their Adhesion to Flat Substrates Characterized by Different Adhesion Strength

The adhesion of lipid vesicles to a rigid flat surface is investigated. We examine the influence of the membrane spontaneous curvature, adhesion strength, and the reduced volume on the stability and shape transformations of adhered vesicles. The minimal strength of the adhesion necessary to stabiliz...

description The adhesion of lipid vesicles to a rigid flat surface is investigated. We examine the influence of the membrane spontaneous curvature, adhesion strength, and the reduced volume on the stability and shape transformations of adhered vesicles. The minimal strength of the adhesion necessary to stabilize the shapes of adhered vesicles belonging to different shape classes is determined. It is shown that the budding of an adhered vesicle may be induced by the change of the adhesion strength. The importance of the free vesicle shape for its susceptibility to adhesion is discussed.
