Weak catch bonds make strong networks

Yuval Mulla et al.

Summary: This study reveals that catch bonds make reconstituted cytoskeletal actin networks stronger than slip bonds, despite individual bonds being weaker. Simulations show that catch bonds can move to high-tension areas to prevent crack initiation, while slip bonds remain trapped in stress-free areas. This 'dissociation on demand' mechanism explains how cells maintain mechanical strength while adapting to shape changes.

Self-strengthening biphasic nanoparticle assemblies with intrinsic catch bonds

Kerim C. Dansuk et al.

Summary: Protein-ligand complexes with catch bonds show prolonged lifetimes under tensile force, a desirable yet challenging trait for man-made nanoparticle interfaces. The study introduces a scissor-type X-shaped particle design that can achieve intrinsic catch bonding ability with tunable force-enhanced lifetimes. Molecular dynamics simulations demonstrate equilibrium self-assembly and force-enhanced bond lifetime of dimers and fibers formed under tensile force.

The many flavours of mechanochemistry and its plausible conceptual underpinnings

Robert T. O'Neill et al.

Summary: Mechanochemistry involves diverse phenomena where mechanical load influences chemical reactions, such as motor protein function, organic synthesis in a ball mill, reactions at a propagating crack, chemical actuation, and polymer fragmentation. The rate of deformation in mechanochemistry affects which and how many bonds break, either powering macroscopic motion in otherwise endergonic reactions or being driven by spontaneous chemical reactions. The complexity of mechanochemistry lies in the dynamic coupling between inertial motion at the microscale and changes in chemical bonding across multiple length scales and timescales.
