Protein High-Force Pulling Simulations Yield Low-Force Results

All-atom explicit-solvent molecular dynamics simulations are used to pull with extremely large constant force (750–3000 pN) on three small proteins. The introduction of a nondimensional timescale permits direct comparison of unfolding across all forces. A crossover force of approximately 1100 pN div...
