A A scheme illustrating the physical concept of the two-pathways model for the catch bond behavior. B The energy landscape of the protein complex: several reaction coordinates may be involved in the bond dissociation process. C A scheme, illustrating the allosteric model. D The alterations of the bond’s energy landscape caused by the external force lead to a preferential transition into a state with a greater activation barrier for dissociation
