Chirality of coiled coils: elasticity matters.
Coiled coils are important protein-protein interaction motifs with high specificity that are used to assemble macromolecular complexes. Their simple geometric organization, consisting of alpha helices wrapped around each other, confers remarkable mechanical properties. A geometrical and mechanical c...
