Abstract
⺠Single molecule/particle force spectroscopy (SMFS/SPFS) is introduced. ⺠SMFS/SPFS is used to investigate clathrin triskelia and clathrin assemblies. ⺠Cooperative unfolding of clathrin alpha-helix hairpin domains is revealed. ⺠Force spectra of triskelia and clathrin coats provide characteristic fingerprints. ⺠SPFS with varying force loading rate differentiates protein-protein interactions.
