Title: Collagen breaks at weak sacrificial bonds taming its mechanoradicals [Data]
Subject: Chemistry
Description: This dataset contains input files for MD simulations, derived breakage counts from these simulations that are used to generate the figures in the publication, and the experimental, uncropped SDS-PAGE gels of the presented results in the related publication.   Abstract of related publication: Collagen is a force-bearing, hierarchical structural protein important to all connective tissue. In tendon collagen, high load even below macroscopic failure level creates mechanoradicals by homolytic bond scission, similar to polymers. The location and type of initial rupture sites critically decide on both the mechanical and chemical impact of these micro-ruptures on the tissue, but are yet to be explored. Wehere use scale-bridging simulations supported by gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry to determine breakage points in
