Distribution and history of extensional stresses on vWF surrogate molecules in turbulent flow
Abstract The configuration of proteins is critical for their biochemical behavior. Mechanical stresses that act on them can affect their behavior leading to the development of decease. The von Willebrand factor (vWF) protein circulating with the blood loses its efficacy when it undergoes non-physiol...
