Tropoelastin is a Flexible Molecule that Retains its Canonical Shape
Tropoelastin is the dominant building block of elastic fibers, which form a major component of the extracellular matrix, providing structural support to tissues and imbuing them with elasticity and resilience. Recently, the atomistic structure of human tropoelastin is described, obtained through acc...
