(a) Shape deformations for the cases Λ˜=0.75 and b˜=0.1 at scaled times t˜ = 3000, 4000, 4100, 4150, 4300, 4500, and 5500 from the initial spherical vesicle (t˜ =0) with a single pore. In the shape at t˜ =5500, the region with δϕDHPC (So,t) > 0 is drawn by the solid line and the one with δϕDHPC (So,t) < 0 is drawn by the dotted line. (b) The area fraction difference in DHPC between inner and outer leaflets δϕDHPC(So,t) at t˜ = 4000, 4100, 4300, and 5500 as functions of So defined as the contour length measured from the intersection point of the vesicle with the z axis at t˜ = 0. (c) The axisymmetric three-dimensional figure of the initial shape (t˜ = 0) and the vesicle with a rolled rim at t˜ = 5500 in panel a.
