Life under tension:the relevance of force on biological polymers

扫码查看
Optical tweezers have elucidated numerous biological processes,particularly by enabling the precise manipulation and measurement of tension.One question concerns the biological relevance of these ex-periments and the generalizability of these experiments to wider biological systems.Here,we catego-rize the applicability of the information garnered from optical tweezers in two distinct categories:the direct relevance of tension in biological systems,and what experiments under tension can tell us about biological systems,while these systems do not reach the same tension as the experiment,still,these ar-tificial experimental systems reveal insights into the operations of biological machines and life processes.
