MechanoProDB: a web-based database for exploring the mechanical properties of proteins

The mechanical stability of proteins is crucial for biological processes. To understand the mechanical functions of proteins, it is important to know the protein structure and mechanical properties. Protein mechanics is usually investigated through force spectroscopy experiments and simulations that probe the forces required to unfold the protein of interest. While there is a wealth of data in the literature on force spectroscopy experiments and steered molecular dynamics simulations of forced...
