Fig. 1 (Color online) Schematic depiction of force sensor, fork generation, and the transition between fork state and kink state. (a) Force exerted on dsDNA and its components of shear force and compressive force. (b) Fork-structure generation unzipped by shearing force at the junction of dsDNA and ssDNA; $\Delta x$ is length of unzipped dsDNA corresponding to every fork generation. (c) Force sensor in fork state and kink state, the transition between the force sensor in fork state and the one in kink state. |
