Titin Extensibility In Situ: Entropic Elasticity of Permanently Folded and Permanently Unfolded Molecular Segments
Abstract. Titin (also known as connectin) is a giant protein that spans half of the striated muscle sarcomere. In the I-band titin extends as the sarcomere is stretched, developing what is known as passive force. The I-band region of titin contains tandem Ig segments (consisting of serially linked i...
