Bond clusters control rupture force limit in shear loaded histidine-Ni<sup>2+</sup> metal-coordinated proteins

<jats:p>Metal-coordination bonds can rupture cooperatively when loaded in shear. However, the rupture force reaches a maximum, due to a critical number of bonds that rupture cooperatively.</jats:p>
