Digital and Tunable Genetically Encoded Tension Sensors Based on Engineered Coiled-Coils doi.org/10.1002/ange...

Here, we create a genetically-encoded force probe by engineering a coiled-coil domain flanked by fluorescent proteins that undergo
FRET. These probes are fully tunable and calibrated by modeling and single molecule force spectroscopy and allow one to measure
forces within living systems.
