Dynamics of spontaneous wrapping of microparticles by floppy lipid membranes

Lipid membranes form the barrier between the inside and outside of cells and many of their subcompartments. As such, they bind to a wide variety of nano- and micrometer sized objects and, in the presence of strong adhesive forces, strongly deform and envelop particles. This wrapping plays a key role...
