Polymer-Based Catch-Bonds

Catch-bonds refer to the counterintuitive notion that the average lifetime of a bond has a maximum at a nonzero applied force. They have been found in several ligand-receptor pairs and their origin is still a topic of debate. Here, we use coarse-grained simulations and kinetic theory to demonstrate...
