To explore the disassembly mechanism of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) during infection, we have used AFM-based single-molecule force spectroscopy[1,2] to mimic/follow the process of RNA disassembly from protein coat of TMV by the replisome in vivo, under different pH and Ca2+ concentration, respectively.Dynamic force spectroscopy revealed the unbinding energy landscapes as that at pH 4.7 the disassembly process is dominated by one energy barrier,while at pH 7.0 the process is dominated by two energy barriers.
