Note:
This project is aimed at investigating the biomechanics of a class of noncollagenous protein complex based on osteocalcin (OCN) and osteopontin (OPN). The proposed study is transformative in that it seeks to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of deformation and fracture behavior of an importance class of bio-interface for the first time.
