| (a) Conformations in a budding transition: adhesion of a sphere to the membrane from the interior of a vesicle, sphere partially wrapped by the membrane, and a budding state where the sphere is entirely wrapped by the membrane; (b) conformations in an engulfing transition: adhesion of a sphere to the membrane from the exterior of a vesicle, sphere partially wrapped by the membrane, and engulfing of the sphere by the membrane. |
