Thermodynamic modeling of a phase transformation in protein filaments with mechanical function
Protective egg capsules from whelks (intertidal marine gastropods) were recently demonstrated to derive their impressive mechanical behavior—reminiscent of the pseudoelastic behavior in some alloy systems from a reversible phase transition of component protein building blocks from a compact α -helic...
