Average binding and unbinding times in units of k0 as function of unloaded receptor-ligand distance λ = ℓ/ℓb for Nt = 10 (solid lines) and 25 (dashed lines) at β = 1. The other parameters are as in Fig. 2. The shaded areas marked by bars are the windows of bistability (which overlap in the darker region) from the mean-field theory for Nt = 10 (left) and 25 (right).
