Abstract

A theoretical model is developed to describe the influence of external loads on the equilibrium shapes of adhering tubular lipid vesicles. In the case of nonspecific adhesion, the equilibrium shape equations and boundary conditions are derived through the method analogous to previous research. For a range of applied forces, locally stable bound shapes are simulated. Along with the increase or decrease the external force, the process for adhering vesicle disengaging from or sprawling to the substrate is predicted and analyzed.
