Investigating nanomechanical properties of proteins that exhibit differing functionality using single molecule atomic force microscopy
Proteins are the workhorses of the biological world, performing a range of tasks that are critical to life. How proteins attain their functional three dimensional fold from a simple linear polymer chain is a poorly understood, yet fundamental process. Comprehending how proteins fold and the molecula...
