Force Spectroscopy




Force spectra taken on raised terraces and lower features. Rupture force distribution of self assembled gp160 unfolding on terraced and lower regions. Rupture forces were measured as 79.6 ± 3.9 pN and 81.3 ± 3.8 pN for the terraces and lower regions, respectively.





HIV-gp160

Sawtooth pattern on the retraction force curve indicating the unfolding of fibronectin. The average rupture force distribution of the protein on mica surface was 85.1 ± 2.7 pN.
