Force-dependent unfolding and folding dynamics of protein alpha-catenin modulation domains

α-catenin is an adhesion protein located at the cadherin-based cell–cell adherens junction. α-catenin cross-links β-catenin and actin fiber in the adhesion protein complex, and plays an important role in the formation and modulation of cell–cell adhesion. The central modulation domains can be unfold...
