  • REGULATING PROTEIN SPONTANEOUS RUPTURES
    Publication number: 20200216824
    Abstract: Protein rupture under compressive forces can be regulated by cations. More specifically, pico-Newton forces can cause rupture of protein molecules, as shown in examples with calmodulin (CaM) and tau proteins, among others. However, rupture does not occur in the presence of various concentrations of cation(s), thus elucidating new targets for disease therapy and providing therapies for neurodegenerative diseases or other conditions involving protein misfolding, dysfunction, or aggregation.
