Event durations of different fibrinopeptide A biomarkers.
Representative
histograms of the number of events as a function of dwell time for
FPA (red; a), FPA-P (blue; b), FPA-3 (yellow; d), and FPA-6 (green;
d) peptides. Black lines are log-normal fits used to determine the
most probable dwell times. Data shown are from a single recording
for each experiment (independent experiments from those shown in Figures 2 and 3). Mean dwell time and standard deviations calculated from
three independent fits to the data were: 5.74 ± 0.22 ms (FPA,
red); 0.62 ± 0.04 ms (FPA-P1, blue); 4.41 ms ± 0.33 ms (FPA-P2,
cyan); 2.50 ± 0.12 ms (FPA-3, yellow); and 0.95 ± 0.04 ms
(FPA-6, green). NFPA = 3339 events; NFPA-P = 4309 events; NFPA-3 = 4230 events; NFPA-6 = 3742 events (a–d). Plot showing mean and standard deviation
of dwell time (calculated from the fits to data from three independent
experiments) as a function of peptide length: 6.09 ± 0.49 ms
(FPA, red); 0.77 ± 0.08 ms (FPA-P1, blue); 3.94 ± 0.24 ms
(FPA-P2, cyan); 3.40 ± 0.15 ms (FPA-3, yellow); 1.18 ± 0.13
ms (FPA-6, green) (e). Plot showing mean and standard deviations for
dwell time as a function of blockade level for each peptide calculated
from the fits to data from three independent experiments: 0.64 ±
0.01 (FPA, red); 0.71 ± 0.01 (FPA-P1, blue); 0.61 ± 0.01
(FPA-P2, cyan); 0.56 ± 0.01 (FPA-3, yellow); and 0.43 ±
0.02 (FPA-6, green) (f).
