mechanical property

http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/acsami.5b05615 Studies reveal that biomolecules can form intriguing molecular structures with fascinating functionalities upon interaction with graphene. Then, interesting questions arise. How does silk fibroin interact with graphene? Does such interaction lead to an enhancement in its mechanical properties?

We consider the mesoscopic model of protein materials composed of protein crystals with given space group for understanding the mechanical properties of protein materials with respect to their structures. This preprint was accepted for publication at Journal of Computational Chemistry.
