Defining Nascent Bone by the Molecular Nanomechanics of Mineralized Collagen Fibrils
Here we focus on recent advances in understanding the deformation and fracture behavior of collagen, Nature's most abundant protein material and the basis for many biological composites including bone, dentin or cornea. We show that it is due to the basis of the collagen structure that leads to...
