Mechanics and energetics in the process of pulling the CNT apart from the WW domain that is immobilized in a nanopore. (a) Steered molecular dynamics simulation. Water (green) is shown transparently. (b) Time-dependent pulling forces. (c) Pulling forces vs. CNT-positions. (d) CNT positions vs. time during the pulling process. (e) Potential of mean force for the complex.
