Distributions of the local force drop Fd (nN) and released energy Ed (kBT) parameters. These parameters were estimated from local disruption events collected from the same sets of myoblasts (red), myotubes (blue) and ATP depleted myoblasts (black) as in Fig. 3. Semi-log representations of (a) maximal released energy \(\widehat{{E}_{d}}\) from each FIC and (b) sum ΣE d /L of the released energy normalized to the FIC length from each FIC. (c,d) Same as (a,b) in a logarithmic representation. Semi-log representation of (e) force drop F d , reconstructed from the whole set of rupture events, and (f) the corresponding released energy. (g,h) Same as (e,f) in a logarithmic representation.
