Two operational modes of atomic force microscopy reveal similar mechanical properties for homologous regions of dystrophin and utrophin

Cailong Hua, Joseph Vavra, Jacob Powers, Joseph M. Muretta, James M. Ervasti, Murti V. Salapaka

This study compares the mechanical properties of dystrophin and utrophin fragments using AFM, finding bacterial utrophin is less stiff than insect utrophin, while dystrophin is intermediate.
