Abstract
We discuss slip bonds, catch bonds and the tug-of-war mechanism using
mathematical arguments. We propose simple 2-dimensional surface models
to demonstrate how the potential energy surface of a molecule under an
external force behaves. Examples are selectines.
Catch bonds in particular are explained in more detail.
We demonstrate that Newton trajectories are a powerful tool
to describe these phenomena.
Newton trajectories form the theoretical background of Mechanochemistry.
