Stretching and visualizing titin molecules: combining structure, dynamics and mechanics
Abstract
The details of the global and local structure and function of titin, a giant filamentous intrasarcomeric protein are largely undiscovered. Here we discuss a combination of bulk-solution and novel single-molecule techniques that may lend unique insights into titin's molecular dynamic, structural and mechanical characteristics.
