22. A hand-waving argument: Upon separation, the binding energy is overcome in the shear geometry within a much shorter distance than in the unzip geometry, therefore the force to overcome the energy barrier is much lower in the unzip geometry. Because the forced unbinding of the oligomer in shear geometry is a nonequilibrium process, its unbinding force is rate-dependent. In all experiments shown here, the duplexes were loaded with a rate of 3000 pN/s.
