Efficient unfolding pattern recognition in single molecule force spectroscopy data

Table 4 The co-occurrences of side peaks and main peaks in curves.

Side & Main peak		Co-occurrence frequency (out of 26 curves)
Region	contour length [aa]
1 & 1	39 & 80	6
1 & 2	39 & 143	8
1 & 1	97 & 80	2
1 & 2	97 & 143	4
2 & 2	167 & 143	10
2 & 3	167 & 215	10
3 & 2	201 & 143	4
3 & 3	201 & 215	4

As shown, the side peaks nearly always co-occur with a nearby main peak in the same curve. Moreover, the first two side peaks (39aa, 97aa) co-occur more often with the second main peak (143aa) than with the first main peak (80aa). The main peak at 80aa also occurs, overall, less frequently in curves. The contour length comes from the fitting of the Worm-Like Chain model inside the curves (see Figure 9a) and it corresponds to knowledge from the literature [13, 20, 22].
