Determination of breaking forces at each station. a Representative pulling (black) and relaxing (red) curves (N = 6) recorded at a pulling rate of 200 nm s−1 displaying WLC behavior of dsDNA handles (blue line). Please, see Methods section for calculation of end-to-end distances. WLC fit to the contour length increase after the shuttling event gives ΔLc ~15 nm. b The intersection of the distributions of the breaking forces at fum (green Gaussian fit) and succ (orange Gaussian fit) stations reveals the coexistence force, f1/2 = 8.46 pN (N = 450 curves)
