Machine learning the dynamics of force-sensing proteins

King’s College London School of Natural & Mathematical Sciences

Mechanosensing proteins detect mechanical forces within cells and convert them into biochemical signals. Understanding the dynamic behaviour of these proteins under force is key for advancing our understanding of this process called mechanotransduction. Read more
