Mechanical response of collagen molecule under hydrostatic compression:Mater Sci Eng C -Mater Biol Appl. 2015

Submitted by karans@iitrpr.ac.in on

Proteins like collagen are the basic building blocks of various body tissues (soft and hard). Collagen molecules find their presence in the skeletal system of the body where they bear mechanical loads from different directions, either individually or along with hydroxy-apatite crystals. Therefore, it is very important to understand the mechanical behavior of the collagen molecule which is subjected to multi-axial state of loading.
