Comparison of the Young's modulus of collagen molecule
| Approach | Young's modulus (GPa) |
|---|---|
| Estimated from persistence length (Hofmann et al., 1984) | 3 – 5.1 |
| Brillouin light scattering (Harley et al., 1977) | 9.0 |
| Brillouin light scattering (Cusack and Miller, 1979) | 5.1 |
| Optical trap (Sun et al., 2002) | 0.35 – 12 |
| Atomistic simulation (Gautieri et al., 2012b) | 5.4 |
| Atomistic simulation (Pradhan et al., 2011) | 4 - 14 |
| Present work | 4.75 ± 0.045 |
