| Mechanical unfolding and refolding pathways in the energy landscape. (A) Schematic view of the ddFLN4 folding and unfolding energy landscape. The native state N and the intermediate state I correspond to minima in the energy landscape. The mechanical unfolding pathway (black line) and the folding pathway (red) are probably different. However, they both proceed through the same intermediate state. (B) Projection of the mechanical unfolding pathway on the mechanical reaction coordinate (N–C-terminal distance).
