Hi Kelly,

Wouldn't constant velocity pulling imply that they all leave when they are told to by the ridiculously high force applied? Like, if you pull at 1A/ns, they will all be 3A away in 3ns... Am I missing something? The *forces* might be comparable, but the leaving times certainly are going to be meaningless.

  I keep being told that I should resist using constant velocity SMD when looking for ligand/protein separation leaving times, but with no explanation. Why can't I use constant velocity pulling to compare leaving times for different ligands in a protein?
