-Early experiments in force spectroscopy involved native
-titin\index{titin}\citep{rief97a}. Titin is a muscle protein involved
-in passive elasticity (\cref{fig:skeletal-muscle}), so it is an ideal
-subject when examining the effect of mechanical force\citep{labeit95}.
-Titin is also interesting because, while it is one of the largest
-known proteins, it is composed of a series of globular domains. When
-\citet{rief97a} carried out their seminal unfolding experiment, the
-observed a very charachteristic sawtooth as the domains unfolded (see
