Molecular Mechanism of Transition from Catch-Bond to Slip-Bond in Fibrin
Rustem I. Litvinov, Olga Kononova, Farkhad Maksudov +4
The lifetimes of non-covalent A:a knob-hole bonds in fibrin probed with the optical trap-based force-clamp first increases ("catch bonds") and then decreases ("slip bonds") with in…

Dynamic transition from -helices to -sheets in polypeptide superhelices
Kirill A. Minin, Artem Zhmurov, Kenneth A. Marx +2
We carried out dynamic force manipulations on a variety of superhelical protein fragments from myosin, chemotaxis receptor, vimentin, fibrin, and phenylalanine zipper…
