Deformation and collapse of biological particles—CCMV, TrV, and AdV.

Accumulated are the Young’s moduli for Hertzian EH and bending Eb deformations, the beam strength and the cooperativity parameter m. The first (second) entries correspond to the exact (approximate) methods of parameter estimation. The model predictions for Fcol are compared with the peak forces (in parenthesis) from the spectra (Figs 4 and 5). For TrV and AdV particles, the shell thickness was estimated as described in the S3 Text.
