Figure 3
Comparison of the results from synchrotron experiments (0.01 mm s−1 displacement) and the laboratory experiments (low tensile experiments). To highlight the main characteristics, the first derivatives from the curves were calculated and plotted against the normalized extension. The normalized extension (NE) was calculated by NE = (extension/ultimate extension) × 100. The β/α ratio and β-fibril diameters are also plotted against the extension. |
