The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Nonequilibrium fluctuations in small systems: From physics to biology (2007, background): “1 Single molecule force experiments In single molecule force experiments it is possible to apply force on individual molecules by grabbing their ends and pulling them apart [74, 75, 76, 77].”
Stochastic mechano-chemical kinetics of molecular motors: A multidisciplinary enterprise from a physicist’s perspective (2012, background): “Technological advances over the last two decades made it possible to stretch, bend and twist a single macromolecule and the corresponding moduli of elasticity have been measured [2210, 2211, 2212, 2213, 2214, 2215, 2216, 2217, 2218, 2219, 2220].”
Microrheology of complex fluids (2005, methodology): “This analysis is mathematically similar to the method used with optical tweezers, i.e. the Langevin equation (equation (36)) is analysed (Strick et al 2003).”
Biomolecules under mechanical force (2010, background): “The description of other techniques may be found in reviews [7,162].”
