20. Experimentally, the control parameter is the distance between the center of the trap and the tip of the micropipette (see Methods) and the system is pulled at a constant pulling speed. However, at forces larger than 5 pN the loading rate is approximately constant and equal to the trap stiffness times the pulling speed. See E. Evans, and K. Ritchie, Biophys. J. 72, 1541 (1997).
