Schematic representations of the features of the energy landscape that can account for a biphasic force dependence of ln ku. Sequential barrier scenario in which the (A) outer barrier or the (B) inner barrier is rate limiting. (C) Population of an intermediate at high force. (D) Parallel pathway scenario in which the two unfolding pathways (black and red) are accessible at different forces.
