Figure 3

The change in bending energy during donut formation. (A) The change of bending energy, ΔEb, as a function of Rω and L in the ideal donut-formation process described in Fig. 2B under the condition r = 100 nm. (B) The change of bending energy, ΔEb, during the process of donut formation (as radius Rω gets smaller) for three typical-lengths, L. (C) The bending energy, Eb, as a function of R and r in different-sized donut mitochondria. (D) The bending energy per unit membrane, Eb/S, as a function of R and r. (E) The relationship between Eb/S and R at fixed r = 100 nm.
