As seen in the image (Z1Z2 / Telethonin complex), the major force enduring component of this complex is an elaborate intermolecular hydrogen bonding network formed across <scene name='2a38/Test/2'>β-strand</scene> among telethonin and Z1Z2 domains, and not intramolecularly among termini β-strands of individual Z1 or Z2 domains. This shift to a stronger force enduring interface reduces the possibility of unraveling the individual Ig-domains, thus stabilizing the complex. This demonstrates how <scene name='2a38/Test/2'>β-strand</scene> cross-linking via [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_bonds hydrogen bonds] serves as an important mechanism. It functions as a molecular adhesive, increasing the ability of protein complexes to resist against mechanical stress. | As seen in the image (Z1Z2 / Telethonin complex), the major force enduring component of this complex is an elaborate intermolecular hydrogen bonding network formed across <scene name='2a38/Test/2'>β-strand</scene> among telethonin and Z1Z2 domains, and not intramolecularly among termini β-strands of individual Z1 or Z2 domains.
