Figure 1. Dynamin, membrane bending and membrane scission.

Figure 1.

Constriction in a lipid tube (grey) pulled from a giant unilamellar vesicle as induced at the edge of the dynamin coat (green). The sharp bend in the membrane at the edge of the coat is important in promoting scission, which also occurs at the edge of the coat (denoted by scissors).
