Figure 9

In bR there are three main unfolding events, which are detected in F-D curves as main peaks. Each unfolding event corresponds to an unfolding of helices in the bR structure. a) This figure shows the Worm-Like Chain model fit to the peak, which allows one to map the unfolding event to a specific amino acid in the structure [13, 20, 22]. The three main peaks appear in most curves and have a high co-occurrence with one another. However, the unfolding pathways are defined by the side peaks that occur in a minority of curves.
