Protein folding modulates the adhesion strategy of Gram positive pathogens
A. Alonso-Caballero, D. J. Echelman, R. Tapia-Rojo, S. Haldar, E. C. Eckels, J. M. Fernandez
This study shows how protein folding modulates the adhesion strategy of Gram positive pathogens by switching between reversible and irreversible bonding under different mechanical forces.

Ephemeral states in protein folding under force captured with a novel magnetic tweezers design
R. Tapia-Rojo, E. C. Eckels, J. M. Fernandez
This paper introduces a novel magnetic tweezers design to study protein folding under force, revealing that protein L transitions to weak collapsed states before folding into its native conformation.

The Mechanical Power of Protein Folding
E. C. Eckels, S. Haldar, R. Tapia-Rojo, J. A. Rivas Pardo, J. M. Fernandez
This study shows disulfide bonds in titin Ig domains amplify mechanical power during muscle contraction by enabling high-force folding, boosting power output from 0 to 6,000 zeptowatts at 6.0 pN.
