We deduce a fully analytical model to predict the artifacts of the device handles in single molecule force spectroscopy experiments. As we show, neglecting the handle stiffness can lead to crucial overestimation or underestimation of the stability properties and unfolding thresholds of multistable molecules.

Abstract

We deduce a fully analytical model to predict the artifacts of the device handles in single molecule force spectroscopy experiments. As we show, neglecting the handle stiffness can lead to crucial overestimation or underestimation of the stability properties and unfolding thresholds of multistable molecules.
