Fig. 2: Recognition of crystalline cellulose with CBM3a-probe.

a Schematics of the CBM3a-probed AFM specific for binding with crystalline CMFs. b–e Control experiments for CBM3a interaction with CMF. f, g The distribution of interaction force between CBM3a and CMF at different loading rates. h Most probable rupture force at different loading rates, subjective to the Bell model. i, j The average curve of the force spectrum calculated for the free energy of interaction between CBM3a and CMFs.
