Here we have determined the mechanical stability of the ultrafast folder gpW using an AFM that operates at very small loads (3 6 pN).
Kinetics of unfolding shows that the mechanical stability of domains I65 I70 is similar to other titin modules, in agreement with previous studies on human I65 I702,19.
Previous reports show that linked cysteines in Ig domains can alter the mechanical stability of the parent domain in a position-dependent manner11,33,34,35.
Hence, we hypothesize that a more global effect induced by the disulfide in the force-stressed protein can decrease the mechanical stability of the domains.
