Mechanically tightening, untying and retying a protein trefoil knot by single-molecule force spectroscopy

Knotted conformation is one of the most surprising topological features found in proteins, and understanding the folding mechanism of such knotted proteins remains a challenge. Here, we used optical tweezers (OT) to investigate the mechanical unfolding and folding behavior of a knotted protein Esche...
