Abstract excerpt
Protein engineering Phi-value analysis combined with single molecule atomic force microscopy (AFM) was used to probe the molecular basis for the mechanical stability of TNfn3, the third fibronectin type III domain from human tenascin. This approach has been adopted previously to solve the forced unfolding pathway of a titin immunoglobulin domain, TI I27. TNfn3 and TI I27 are members of different protein...
