Quantifying the mechanosensitivity of the type I collagen monomer to enzymatic cleavage
In nature it can be observed that collagen, specifically type I collagen, forms structures in vertebrate animals that resist mechanical loading. The method of load-optimization for these collagen structures is currently unknown. We propose that the method of optimization is based on a low force swit...
