Multiple Cryptic Binding Sites are Necessary for Robust Fibronectin Assembly: An In Silico Study

The mechanism of assembly of the extracellular matrix protein fibronectin (FN) into elastic, insoluble fibrils is still poorly understood. FN fibrillogenesis requires cell-generated forces, which expose cryptic FN-FN binding sites buried in FN Type III domains. The number and location of cryptic bin...
