title: Protein folding under mechanical forces: a physiological view.
abstract: Mechanical forces regulate the function of numerous proteins relevant to physiology. The functions and folding of proteins have been under scrutiny for decades, but it was not until recently that mechanical forces have been considered. Here, we review different techniques for studying protein folding, highlighting their physiological significance.
