Deskripsi

Chakraborty et al. uses single-molecule magnetic tweezers to investigate the chaperone-modulated talin protein mechanics. The results showed that chaperones are involved in the regulation of talin folding/unfolding under mechanical force with some chaperones stabilizing talin and increasing the force, whereas others destabilize it and reduce the force.
