Unlabeled MBP (0.15 mgr) was added to the STN (0.25 mgr) and the mixture was incubated for 1 hour in 4uC (Experiment A). The complex was then combined with amylose resin (for 2 hour in 4uC) and the resin subsequently was washed with maltose. SDS-PAGE showed STN band in master mixture (MBP+STN) (1) and supernatant sample (2), but no band was detected for eluted sample at the same location (3). This confirms that MBP-STN complex does not form specifically, in the absence of ST linkage. This process was repeated with the pure STN solution (Experiment B). The result shows that STN molecules which bind the column nonspecifically cannot be eluted by maltose. Overall, these control experiments indicate that the eluted STN molecules in MedChemExpress HC-030031 Figure 1d, were linked via tST to MBP and confirm the chemical structure of the synthesized MBP-tST-STN complex.

Connections can either form by incubation in bulk or in-situ within the tweezers apparatus by bringing the beads together. In blue bars, Dig-DNA-biotin molecules were incubated with NTV-coated beads, and the Dig-AntiDig connection was formed in-situ. In purple bars, Dig-DNA-biotin molecules were incubated with AntiDig-coated beads, and the biotin-NTV connection was formed in-situ. The statistics show a reduction in the fraction of survived tethers (both in the first and second pull) when Dig-AntiDig linkage formed in-situ.

Linkages can either form by incubation in bulk or in-situ within the tweezers. In blue bars, Dig-DNA-biotin molecules were incubated with NTV-coated beads, and the DigAntiDig connection was formed in-situ within the tweezers. In purple bars, Dig-DNA-biotin molecules were incubated with AntiDig-coated beads, and the biotin-NTV connection was formed in-situ. The statistics show most of the in-situ formed DigAntiDig connections broke immediately (blue bars), while a few number of Dig-AntiDig linkages which formed by incubation (purple bars), broke within that time.
