The mechanobiology of the T-Cell Receptor: Structurally connecting catch bonds with ligand binding and triggering
… by the TCR and what is the structural role of catch bonds. It is proposed that TCRs uses catch bonds to determine whether or not the presented antigen is a threat. It is demonstrated for the first time that catch bonds formed experimentally between a TCR and a peptide-loaded major …

Polymers and colloids in flows : from dynamics to self-healing
… science such as drug delivery or coatings. Catch-bonds refer to the counterintuitive notion that the average bond lifetime has a maximum at a nonzero applied force. They have been found in several ligand-receptor pairs including vWF/platelet GP1b-alpha. Here we use coarse-grained simulations …
