Cooperative deformation of hydrogen bonds in beta-strands and beta-sheet nanocrystals
Beta-sheet protein domains are stabilized by weak hydrogen bonds, yet materials such as silk-whose ultimate tensile strength is controlled primarily by this secondary structure-can exceed the ultimate tensile strength of steel. Earlier work has suggested that this is because hydrogen bonds deform co...
