Molecular force spectroscopy of kinetochore-microtubule attachment {\it in silico}: Mechanical signatures of an unusual catch bond and collective effects

Dipanwita Ghanti, Shubhadeep Patra, Debashish Chowdhury

Measurement of the life time of attachments formed by a single microtubule (MT) with a single kinetochore (kt) {\it in-vitro} under force-clamp conditions had earlier revealed a ca…
