Near equilibrium unbinding of streptavidin/biotin using single molecule acoustic force spectroscopy The dissociation of the streptavidin-biotin (SA-b) bond has been widely characterized using bulk and single molecule force spectroscopy (SMFS) techniques. However, the dissociation rates ( k off) from...

The curious case of streptavidin–biotin: a non-covalent bond.
Single Molecule Force Spectroscopy: “SA-b bond breaks in 1s at equilibrium”
SA-b at equilibrium: “Not really, More like 1-10 Days.”
(Answer: nobody—we were just pulling way too fast (far from equilibrium))
