Formation of Protein Networks between Mucins: Molecular Dynamics Study Based on the Interaction Energy of the System
PublicationMolecular dynamics simulations have been performed for a model aqueous solution of mucin. As mucin is a central part of lubricin, a key component of synovial fluid, we investigate its ability to form cross-linked networks. Such network formation could be of major importance for the viscoelastic properties of the soft-matter system and crucial for understanding the lubrication mechanism in articular cartilage. Thus,the inter- and...
