3.2.1.17 on stretching from its N and C termini using single-molecule atomic force microscopy, T4 lysozyme unfolds by multiple distinct unfolding pathways: the majority of T4 lysozymes unfold in an all-or-none fashion by overcoming a dominant unfolding kinetic barrier; and a small fraction of T4 lysozymes unfold in three-state fashion involving unfolding intermediate states. Results give direct evidence for the kinetic partitioning of the mechanical unfolding pathways of T4 lysozyme, and the complex unfolding behaviors reflect the stochastic nature of kinetic barrier rupture in mechanical unfolding processes Tequatrovirus T4
