Figure 6. Sequence and stretching force dependence of ksd and kpe.

Figure 6

(a) ksd as a function of GC content in hairpin stems. The exponential fit based on the simple model for helicase unzipping yields n = 3 bases, ΔGRT = 1.3 kBT. (b) Force-dependent kpe of HIV-1 RT. (c) Ratio between ksd and kpe is shown as a function of template stretching force. The best fit is done with n = 4 bases, ΔGRT = 1.4 kBT (see Supporting Materials for analysis).
