(A) Force curves for WT MI-MIII fragment in loading (a). The force curves are shifted to the left by the offset length Loffset. (B) Contour map of number density nd of force peaks in loading (a) based on 797 force curves. Color contours are set from the maximum value of nd (red) to 0.4 × the value (blue). (C) Force curves in loading (b). (D) Contour map in loading (b) based on 514 force curves. (E) Force relaxation curve during the holding time. (F) The probability density of force at 0 s (orange bars) and 1 s (purple bars) during the holding time.
