The most frequently observed rupture force (MFOF), which is essential for the evaluation of the potential landscape, was evaluated by processing 22,500 force curves using two methods. One method is a conventional method, which is usually built in commercial AFM systems, i.e., difference between the baseline value and the minimum force value in the force curve. The other is a detection of rupture events based on a fuzzy logic algorithm to detect the rupture event from analyzing the shape of the force curves. Our statistical analysis revealed that the conventional method exhibited a significant artifact, which is the increase in the population of small forces comparable to thermal noise of cantilevers, resulting in a smaller MFOF. Based on this finding, we discuss the choice of a method and its effecton the illustrated potential landscapes of ligand-receptor complexes.展开更多
