Die Verteilung der Entfaltungskräfte von Titindomänen spiegeln die Zufallsnatur des Bindungsbruchprozesses wider. Gaub/SS 2005 BPM 1.5.2 17
Schlußfolgerungen 1. Bindungsbrüche sind thermisch aktivierte statistische Prozesse und haben dementsprechend keinen scharfen Wert sondern eine charakteristische Verteilung 2. Die Bruchkräfte hängen von der Geschwindigkeit ab, mit der ein Experiment durchgeführt wird.
