Coarse-Grained Model of Tropoelastin Self-Assembly into Nascent Fibrils

Elastin is the dominant building block of elastic fibers that impart structural integrity and elasticity to a range of important tissues, including the lungs, blood vessels, and skin. The elastic fiber assembly process begins with a coacervation stage where tropoelastin monomers reversibly self-asse...
