Mechanical energy transfer and dissipation in fibrous beta-sheet-rich proteins

Mechanical energy transfer and dissipation in fibrous beta-sheet-rich proteins

Mechanical properties of structural protein materials are crucial for our understanding of biological processes and disease states. Through utilization of molecular simulation based on stress wave tracking, we investigate mechanical energy transfer processes in fibrous beta-sheet-rich proteins that...
