Proteins under shear flow
Shear flow, as it occurs for example in blood vessel, is an alternative way of subjecting proteins to forces for signalling …
Extremely elastic proteins
The ultimate properties of proteins with respect to their ability to be force-reactive, are coarsely described by their capacity to withstand …
Interaction between intrinsically disordered proteins and structured partners
On the line of maturing new understanding of the factors regulating the correct dynamics of intrinsically disordered proteins in solution, one …
Conformational dynamics of intrinsically disordered proteins
Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) lack, by definition, of a well-defined three-dimensional structure and therefore explore a much larger conformational ensemble with …
