Fit to five theoretical predictions of the effect of
Fb on koff.
(A) Arithmetic fit. (B) Logarithmic fit,
using the difference between the logs of the predicted and observed
koff values. The
koff data of tethered neutrophils on
P-selectin measured in 0, 3, or 6% Ficoll are plotted vs. the average
force on bond, Fb. The pooled data of
koff at different viscosities were fit to
the indicated theoretical models. DHW, deep harmonic well; SBD,
spontaneous bond dissociation.
