| κ = 12.15 kBT | κ = 40 kBT | |
|---|---|---|
| Separation (nm) | 〈f〉 ± σ (pN) | 〈f〉 ± σ (pN) |
| 20 | 3.43 ± 6.16 | 7.06 ± 11.38 |
| 3.63 | 7.14 | |
| 40 | 3.56 ± 6.24 | 7.23 ± 11.39 |
| 3.79 | 7.38 | |
| 80 | 3.78 ± 6.01 | 7.56 ± 11.74 |
| 4.25 | 8.11 | |
| 160 | 6.87 ± 6.34 | 9.67 ± 11.63 |
| 7.16 | 11.42 | |
| Single bond | 7.07 ± 6.32 | 13.46 ± 11.60 |
| 6.99 | 13.90 | |
The averages and SDs are calculated for t > 0.5 s. Forces reported without SDs are the average force at the final time point (1 s) of simulations without thermal fluctuations. 〈f〉, Average force; σ, SD.
