Molecular structure, mechanical behavior and failure mechanism of the C-terminal cross-link domain in type I collagen
Collagen is a key constituent in structural materials found in biology, including bone, tendon, skin and blood vessels. Here we report a first molecular level model of an entire overlap region of a C-terminal cross-linked type I collagen assembly and carry out a nanomechanical characterization based...
