Mechanical Softening of a Small Ubiquitin-Related Modifier Protein Due to Temperature Induced Flexibility at the Core.

Abstract excerpt

Despite the growing interest in the thermal softening of proteins, the mechanistic details of it are far from understood. β-Grasp proteins have globular shape with compact structure and they are mechanically resilient. The β-clamp or mechanical clamp in them formed by the interactions between the terminal β-strands is generally associated with the protein mechanical resistance. Although previous studies showed...
