How many proteins are left after these 60 seconds?
I wonder if there’s a large-ish (not by percentage, but still) class of mechanically self-destructing proteins? E.g. suppose you have something like this:
RRRRRAARRRRRRAAAEEEEEEEXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXEEEEEEEE
where R could be any basic amino, E any acidic one, A any neutral one. And then the Xs are some sequence that eventually forms a strong extended thing. So the idea is that you get strong bonds between the second R island and the first E island, and between the first R island and the second E island. Then the X segment pulls the two Es apart, ripping the protein between the two R islands. like:

This is 100% made up, no idea if anything like it could happen.
