Engineering tunable catch bonds with DNA
Unlike most adhesive bonds, biological catch bonds strengthen with increased tension. This
characteristic is essential to specific receptor-ligand interactions, underpinning biological …

Theory and Examples of Catch Bonds
W Quapp, JM Bofill - The Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 2024 - ACS Publications
We discuss slip bonds, catch bonds, and the tug-of-war mechanism using mathematical
arguments. The aim is to explain the theoretical tool of molecular potential energy surfaces …
