dc.description.abstract | Using dynamic force spectroscopy to measure the kinetic off-rates of intermolecular bonds currently requires the isolation of single molecules. This requirement arises in part because no tractable analytic method for determining kinetic off-rates from the rupture of a large number of bonds under dynamic forces is currently available. We introduce a novel method for determining the unstressed off-rate from dynamic force spectroscopy experiments involving a large number of bonds. Using both the Bell and Dembo models we show that the unstressed off-rate calculated using the proposed method is in good agreement with the prescribed unstressed off-rate used in Monte-Carlo simulations of multiple bond dynamic force spectroscopy experiments given initial number of bonds (50–500) and loading rate 10³ – 10⁶ pN/s. | en_US |
