Structural mechanisms underlying the mechanical properties of fibrin fibers are elusive. We combined tensile testing of uncrosslinked fibrin polymers in vitro and in silico to explore their material properties. The experimental stress (σ) – strain (ε) curves for fibrin fibers are characterized by elastic deformations with a weaker elastic response for ε<160% due to unraveling of αC tethers and straightening of fibrin protofibrils, and a stronger response for ε>160% owing to unfolding of the coiled coils and γ nodules in fibrin monomers. Fiber rupture for strains ε>212% is due to dissociation of the knob-hole bonds and rupture of D:D interfaces. We developed the Fluctuating Bilinear Spring model to interpret the σ – ε profiles in terms of the free energy for protofibril alignment ΔG0 = 10.1–11.5 kBT, Young’s moduli for protofibril alignment Yu = 1.9–3.2 MPa and stretching Ya = 5.7–9.7 MPa, strain scale for fiber rupture, and protofibril cooperativity m = 3.6–8. We applied the model to characterize the fiber strength σcr = 12–13 MPa, deformability εcr ≈ 222%, and rupture toughness U ≈ 9 MJ/m3, and to resolve thermodynamic state functions, 96.9 GJ/mol entropy change for protofibril alignment (at room temperature) and 113.6 GJ/mol enthalpy change for protofibril stretching, which add up to 210.5 GJ/mol free-energy change. Fiber elongation is associated with protofibril dehydration and sliding mechanism to create an ordered protofibril array. Fibrin fibers behave like a hydrogel; protofibril dehydration and water expulsion account for ~94–98% of the total free-energy changes for fiber elongation and rupture.
