Mechanical unfolding of spectrin reveals a super-exponential dependence of unfolding rate on force

We investigated the mechanical unfolding of single spectrin molecules over a broad range of loading rates and thus unfolding forces by combining magnetic tweezers with atomic force microscopy. We find that the mean unfolding force increases logarithmically with loading rate at low loading rates, but...
