Abstract
Recently, single-molecule force spectroscopy techniques have provided unprecedented opportunities to apply and to quantify forces that guide protein (un-)folding. A new study provides fascinating insights into the sophisticated mechanism by which an ATP-fueled proteolytic machine generates mechanical forces to unfold and translocate multidomain substrates.
