Minimal mesoscale model for protein-mediated vesiculation in clathrin-dependent endocytosis. by Neeraj J Agrawal, Jonathan Nukpezah, Ravi Radhakrishnan

“…We suggest that there exists a critical size of the coat above which a vesicular bud with a constricted neck resembling a mature vesicle is stabilized. Based on the observed strong dependence of the vesicle diameter on the bending rigidity, we suggest that the variability in bending stiffness due to variations in membrane composition with cell type can explain the experimentally observed variability on the size of clathrin-coated vesicles, which typically range 50-100 nm. …”
