Intermolecular Misfolding Captured in Parallelly Organized Titin

The Li Group's exciting discovery reveals that when titin Ig domains are arranged in parallel, just like their organization within muscle sarcomeres, they can misfold into a stable intermolecular domain-swapped state, which is both thermally and mechanically stable—offering new insights into how this unique misfolding could play an important role in the structure and elasticity of muscle.
