Fig. 5. Averaged force–extension curves of the different coiled coils obtained from SMD simulations (T = 300 K; implicit solvent). The graph shows the forces as a function of extension (ΔL = v × t, where v is the retract speed and t is time). (A) Force–extension behaviour at the fastest retract speed (v = 109 nm s–1). The results represent averages over 40 (CC-A4B4) and 20 (CC-A4B3) independent runs. (B) Force–extension behaviour at the slowest retract speed (v = 106 nm s–1). The results represent averages over 5 (CC-A4B3) or 6 (CC-A4B4) independent runs.
