Nanomechanics of Ankyrin Repeat Proteins

Nanomechanics of Ankyrin Repeat Proteins

<p>Ankyrin repeats (ARs) are polypeptide motifs identified in thousands of proteins. Many AR proteins play a function as scaffolds in protein-protein interactions which may require specific mechanical properties. Also, a number of AR proteins have been proposed to mediate mechanotransduction i...
