Abstract

We report the study of the dynamics of the unbinding process under a force load f of adsorbed proteins (fibrinogen) on a solid surface (hydrophilic silica) by means of atomic force microscopy spectroscopy. By varying the loading rate r f , defined by f = r f t, t being the time, we find that, as for specific interactions, the mean rupture force increases with r f . This unbinding process is analyzed in the framework of the widely used Bell model. The typical dissociation rate at zero force entering in the model lies between 0.02 and 0.6 s −1 . Each measured rupture is characterized by a force f 0 , which appears to be quantized in integer multiples of 180–200 pN.
