Mechanoradicals in tensed tendon collagen as a source of oxidative stress
The existence, nature and biological relevance of mechanoradicals in proteins are unknown. Here authors show that mechanical stress on collagen produces radicals and subsequently reactive oxygen species and suggest that collagen I evolved as a radical sponge against mechano-oxidative damage.
