- abstract = "We use single-molecule force spectroscopy to study the
- kinetics of unfolding of the small protein ubiquitin.
- Upon a step increase in the stretching force, a
- ubiquitin polyprotein extends in discrete steps of 20.3
- {+/-} 0.9 nm marking each unfolding event. An average
- of the time course of these unfolding events was well
- described by a single exponential, which is a necessary
- condition for a memoryless Markovian process. Similar
- ensemble averages done at different forces showed that
- the unfolding rate was exponentially dependent on the
- stretching force. Stretching a ubiquitin polyprotein
- with a force that increased at a constant rate
- (force-ramp) directly measured the distribution of
- unfolding forces. This distribution was accurately
- reproduced by the simple kinetics of an all-or-none
- unfolding process. Our force-clamp experiments directly
- demonstrate that an ensemble average of ubiquitin
- unfolding events is well described by a two-state
- Markovian process that obeys the Arrhenius equation.
- However, at the single-molecule level, deviant behavior
- that is not well represented in the ensemble average is
- readily observed. Our experiments make an important
- addition to protein spectroscopy by demonstrating an
- unambiguous method of analysis of the kinetics of
- protein unfolding by a stretching force.",
