Multiplexed single-molecule force spectroscopy using a centrifuge

Single molecule force spectroscopy (SMFS) has limitations in throughput and the ability to repeatedly interrogate single bonds. Here the authors repurpose a benchtop centrifuge and use DNA nanoswitches to enable high throughput SMFS capable of repeatedly measuring forces of single molecular pairs.
