Typical end-products for assembly on a homogeneous membrane as a function of subunit-membrane adhesion strength ead. (A and B) Assembled but partially wrapped capsids for (A) ead = 0.1α and (B) ead = 0.15α. (C) Assembly stalls at a half capsid for ead = 0.2α. (D) A deformed, open structure forms for ead = 0.4α.
