Vesicles, or closed shell-like structures, are commonly formed from lipid
membranes. They are useful for encapsulating drugs and other products, for
targeted or time-released delivery. We are using a simple mechanical
representation of the membrane to calculate the free energy landscape of the
formation of vesicles from membrane fragments.
