Fig. 3. Unfolding forces. (a) Unfolding forces of TNfn3 (blue), FNoTNc (red), and FNfn10 (black). FNoTNc unfolds at the same force as TNfn3. Only FNfn10 shows double peaks, indicting the presence of an unfolding intermediate. These traces were collected at a retraction speed of 1,000 nm/s. (b) Histograms of unfolding forces of TNfn3 (blue), FNoTNc (red), and FNfn10 (black) at a retraction speed of 1,000 nm/s. The modal unfolding forces are 127 ± 3 pN (n = 305), 125 ± 3 pN (n = 332), and 104 ± 5 pN (n = 172), respectively [see also supporting information (SI) Fig. 5].
