'______ 'Force Spectroscopy



Picking up and unfolding a single protein

Assembly

Nano-mechanics of HIV GP160



GP160mica


Typical sawtooth unfolding pattern of a single molecule of the HIV virion protein GP160. Unfolding forces can be extracted from the sawtooth pattern by applying the worm like chain model.





Unfolding the ECM protein fibronectin


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.
