Abstract
In this Comment, we point out that (i) Manca et al. err in their finding that the force law obtained for a single polymer chain in the thermodynamic limit using the Helmholtz ensemble is identical to that obtained using the Gibbs ensemble in all force regimes, and (ii) the perpetuation of this misunderstanding can have serious consequences when interpreting the results of polymer-stretching experiments in the weak-force region.
