Mechanical Unfolding of Proteins—A Comparative Nonequilibrium Molecular Dynamics Study

Mechanical signals regulate functions of mechanosensitive proteins by inducing structural changes that are determinant for force-dependent interactions. Talin is a focal adhesion protein that is known to extend under mechanical load, and it has been shown to unfold via intermediate states. Here, we...
