The partitioning of the epsins during budding as a function of clathrin coat areas. The inset shows the epsin distribution as a function of arc length. We note that in the representative snapshots, we have chosen to depict the buds to nucleate upwards. However, in the z(r) and z(s) plots, we depict the deformation as occurring downwards. The membrane bending rigidity is κ = 20 kBT and the intrinsic clathrin curvature is fixed at C0 = 0.1 nm–1.
