Mechanical and chemical unfolding of a single protein


Mechanical and chemical unfolding of a single protein: A comparison

The native state of proteins is the most stable, and therefore, proteins rarely unfold spontaneously. For example, the unfolding of isolated Ig and fibronectin ...

Mechanical and chemical unfolding of a single protein - PubMed

Is the mechanical unraveling of protein domains by atomic force microscopy (AFM) just a technological feat or a true measurement of their unfolding?

Mechanical and chemical unfolding of a single protein: A comparison

Furthermore, the transition state for unfolding appears at the same position on the folding pathway when assessed by either method. These results indicate that ...
