Predicted results of DNA-synthesis rate k ( F ) under the effect of the external force F for Dbh. (a) DNA-synthesis rate k(F) versus F for different values of [dNTP]. (b) DNA-synthesis rate k(F) versus [dNTP] for different values of F, with curves from upper to lower corresponding to F = 1 pN, 10 pN, 20 pN and 30 pN, respectively.
