Dynamic Force Spectroscopy of Molecular Adhesion Bonds

Open access
Heymann, Berthold, Grubmüller, Helmut·2000·Physical Review Letters

Abstract

Recent advances in atomic force microscopy, biomembrane force probe experiments, and optical tweezers allow one to measure the response of single molecules to mechanical stress with high precision. Such experiments, due to limited spatial resolution, typically access only one single force value in a continuous force profile that characterizes the molecular response along a reaction coordinate. We develop a theory that allows one to reconstruct force profiles from force spectra obtained from measurements at varying loading rates, without requiring increased resolution. We show that spectra obtained from measurements with different spring constants contain complementary information.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
