TABLE 1.

Mean persistence lengths and plateau forces of myosin fragments

Fragment (longest chain)	S2 (535 aa)	LMM (588 aa)	Rod (1123 aa)	SHM (1923 aa)	Myosin (1923 aa)
Persistence length (nm) ± SD	0.13 ± 0.18 (n = 254)	0.10 ± 0.08 (n = 24)	0.29 ± 0.45 (n = 193)	0.11 ± 0.25 (n = 68)	0.16 ± 0.38 (n = 73)
Plateau force (pN) ± SD	41 ± 10 (n = 151)	40 ± 14 (n = 29)	41 ± 22 (n = 242)	52 ± 20 (n = 75)	40 ± 15 (n = 73)

Means and standard deviations (± SD) for the measured plateau forces and WLC-fitted persistence lengths are calculated as described in the Materials and Method section.
