Molecular mechanics of beta-sheets
https://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/acsbiomaterials.9b01983
Beta-sheet protein structures and domains are widely found in biological materials such as silk. These assemblies play amajor role in the extraordinary strength and unique properties of biomaterials. In our new work, we employ simple Langevin-based models to investigate the behavior and the collapse of these structures.
