This study investigates how protamine compacts DNA through multiple modes, forming bends, loops, and coils that contribute to transcription silencing in sperm cells.

The paper measures viscoelasticity of single macromolecules using two AFM techniques, finding the dissipation coefficient is below detection limits and highlighting artefacts in conventional methods.

This paper measures dissipation in a single protein using small amplitude atomic force microscopy and finds internal friction scales with tension.
