Chemical Design Model for Emergent Synthetic Catch Bonds
All primary chemical bonds inherently weaken under increasing tension. Interestingly, nature is able to combine such bonds into protein complexes that accomplish the opposite behavior: they strengthen with increasing tensional force. These complexes known as catch bonds are increasingly considered a...
