Mechanical Distortion of Protein Receptor Decreases the Lifetime of a Receptor-Ligand Bond

Guo, Senli; Li, Nan; Lad, Nimit; Ray, Chad; Akhremitchev, Boris B (2010)

Substantial experimental evidence indicates that the mechanical force applied to pull apart non-covalent molecular bonds (such as receptor ligand pairs) can significantly decrease the bond lifetime. This evidence is often ...
