A HaloTag-TEV genetic cassette for mechanical phenotyping of proteins from tissues

Testing mechanical forces on native molecules in natural environments remains a challenge. Here the authors engineer titin to carry a HaloTag-TEV insertion to allow analysis of dynamics under force in muscle fibers.
