The ‘n’ in the parentheses is the number of events used in the analysis.
*mean ± SD.
Monte Carlo simulation.
Bell-Evans-Ritchie approximation.
the range is obtained by using the average unfolding force ± SD in Monte Carlo simulations (see Supporting Material in File S1).
the errors obtained from the range of ku o.
ks calculated from Monte Carlo values of ku 0 and Δxu.
