Molecular probes fibronectin strain ECM

*********************************
There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Molecular probes fibronectin strain ECM

Molecular probes displaying the LNLPHG and RFSAFY peptide sequences showed the greatest binding affinity to fibronectin fibers and the greatest efficiency in discriminating between relaxed and strained fibers. On extracellular matrix assembled by primary lung fibroblasts, LNLPHG preferentially attached to relaxed fibronectin fibers (top row), whereas RFSAFY bound to strained fibers (bottom row).
