Mechanical characterization of spectrin at the molecular level

Abstract Spectrin, a large cytoskeletal protein, consists of a heterodimeric structure comprising α and β subunits. Here, we have studied the mechanics of spectrin filament as a major constituent of dendrites and dendritic spines. Given the intricate biological details and compact biological constru...
