The force and extension values for the dissociation of SNARE proteins as a function of the force loading rate. A) The force necessary to take apart Sx1A-Sb2 in the absence (open circles) or presence of SNAP25B (squares) increases exponentially with an increase in the loading rate. B) The extension changes exponentially with loading rate when Sx1A-Sb2 interactions are ruptured, but it remains unchanged (constant at ~ 12 nm) when measuring Sx1ASb2-SNAP25B interactions.
