Cooperative melting in double-stranded peptide chains through local mechanical interactions

The separation of double-stranded peptide chains can occur in two ways: cooperatively or non-cooperatively. These two regimes can be driven either by chemical or thermal effects, or through non-local mechanical interactions. Here, we show explicitly that local mechanical interactions in biological s...
