  1. The table summarizes results regarding mechanical characterization of the C3 domain in the context of three different polyproteins, following traditional atomic force microscopy (AFM) or orthogonal fingerpriting (OFP)-based concurrent measurements. nexp and nevents represent the number of experiments and unfolding events, respectively. Relative standard deviations (RSDs) of the distributions of \(\Delta \left\langle {F_{\mathrm{u}}} \right\rangle\) with respect to (C3-L)4 at two different calibration uncertainties (CU) were estimated by Monte Carlo simulations using the actual structure of the experimental datasets.
