Nanomechanics of multidomain neuronal cell adhesion protein contactin revealed by single molecule AFM and SMD

Abstract Contactin-4 (CNTN4) is a complex cell adhesion molecule (CAM) localized at neuronal membranes, playing a key role in maintaining the mechanical integrity and signaling properties of the synapse. CNTN4 consists of six immunoglobulin C2 type (IgC2) domains and four fibronectin type III (FnIII...
