Fluctuations, responses and energetics of molecular motors.
A novel equality relating the rate of energy dissipation to a degree of violation of the fluctuation-response relation (FRR) in non-equilibrium Langevin systems is described. The FRR is a relation between the correlation function of the fluctuations and the response function of macroscopic variables. Although it has been established that the FRR holds in equilibrium, physical significance of vi...
متن کاملMesoscale modeling of molecular machines: cyclic dynamics and hydrodynamical fluctuations.
Proteins acting as molecular machines can undergo cyclic internal conformational motions that are coupled to ligand binding and dissociation events. In contrast to their macroscopic counterparts, nanomachines operate in a highly fluctuating environment, which influences their operation. To bridge the gap between detailed microscopic and simple phenomenological descriptions, a mesoscale approach...

متن کاملProtein Targeting: Entropy, Energetics and Modular Machines
New light is being shed on the mechanism of protein import into mitochondria. The inner membrane translocase can switch between modes of translocation, and assists what might be an entropic device to drive the initial entry of substrate proteins across the outer membrane.
متن کاملEnergetics of active fluctuations in living cells.
The nonequilibrium activity taking place in a living cell can be monitored with a tracer embedded in the medium. While microrheology experiments based on optical manipulation of such probes have become increasingly standard, we put forward a number of experiments with alternative protocols that, we claim, will provide insight into the energetics of active fluctuations. These are based on either...
