Simulation of the ∼40-nm vesicle-bilayer system. (A) Side view of the ND-bilayer pore geometry, with the ND replaced by a vesicle. Shown are snapshots taken at the start of simulation (Left) and at the end of the free simulation (Right, 170 ns). (B) Side view showing the starting configuration (Left) and the configuration at 1.5 μs (Right) for the vesicle-bilayer fusion setup.
