Article Title: Distinct Binding Interactions of α 5 β 1 -Integrin and Proteoglycans with Fibronectin
doi: 10.1016/j.bpj.2019.07.002
Figure Lengend Snippet: Frequency distributions for extracted rupture forces, taken at different velocities for the unbinding of fibronectin from α 5 β 1 -integrin ( A ), SDC4 ( B ), and decorin ( C ). The number of measurements, n , from which the distributions were obtained, is shown in each panel. The fits (shown) are to either Gaussian or log-Gaussian models, and the modal averages of the rupture force for the corresponding loading rate were obtained. (These may be distinguished by noting that the fit to a log-Gaussian model passes through the origin.) Included errors correspond to the width of the 95% confidence interval for the fit. Standard error values for each fit, provided by statistical software package GraphPad, were significantly smaller than the error values (95% confidence interval width) quoted here. The log-Gaussian fit was used when the Gaussian fit was unsatisfactory, although the modal average is model independent. To see this figure in color, go online.
