Optimal evaluation of single-molecule force spectroscopy experiments.
The forced rupture of single chemical bonds under external load is addressed. A general framework is put forward to optimally utilize the experimentally observed rupture force data for estimating the parameters of a theoretical model. As an application, we explore to what extent a distinction between several recently proposed models is feasible on the basis of realistic experimental data sets.
