Mechanosensing ability of Focal Adhesion Kinase
Mechanosensing plays a decisive role at focal adhesions (Fas), sites at which external forces are integrated into cellular signaling pathways, thereby …
Composite Materials
Polymeric materials show outstanding mechanical properties and have attracted a great deal of scientific interest. By means of all-atom molecular dynamics, …
Focal Adhesion Kinase is a mechanosensor!
MD simulations of a FAK fragment containing the catalytic and FERM domains in different protein system are carried out to compare …
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 …
