Molecular understanding of ligand design in metal-coordination transient hydrogels using simulation and experiment

Year: 2020

Type: other

Abstract: Metal-coordination is an important molecular motif in biology wherein metal-mediated bonds play dynamic mechanical roles in protein folding and unfolding and shock absorbance in biological tissues such as mussel threads. These bonds are reversible and tunable, unlike more covalent chemical crosslinks that permanently break upon fracture. Because they break and reform after rupture,
