Abstract
In this paper we examine the mechanics of vesicle budding from the Golgi apparatus. We propose a model for this process based on the notion that molecular surfactants can release the elastic energy stored in the lipid bilayer. The same physical process may drive other vesiculation processes, including coated vesicle formation and budding of enveloped viruses from the plasma membrane.Entities:
