Weak catch bonds make strong networks

This paper shows that weak catch bonds in cytoskeletal networks enhance mechanical strength and deformability by enabling dissociation-on-demand, contrasting with the traditional strength-on-demand model.

Polypeptide collapse modulation and folding stimulation by GroEL-ES

This study shows GroEL-ES enhances polypeptide collapse, directly stimulating folding by pulling chains into its cavity and promoting compaction and folding transitions.
