Mesoscopic non-equilibrium thermodynamics of non-isothermal reaction-diffusion.
We show how the law of mass action can be derived from a thermodynamic basis, in the presence of temperature gradients, chemical potential gradients and hydrodynamic flow. The solution gives the law of mass action for the forward and the reverse contributions to the net chemical reaction. In addition we derive the fluctuation-dissipation theorem for the fluctuating contributions to the reaction...
متن کاملExploiting non-equilibrium phase separation for self-assembly.
Demixing can occur in systems of two or more particle species that experience different driving forces, e.g., mixtures of self-propelled active particles or of oppositely charged colloids subject to an electric field. Here we show with macroscopic experiments and computer simulations that the forces underlying such non-equilibrium segregation can be used to control the self-assembly of particle...
متن کاملNon-Equilibrium Dynamics: Diffusion in Small Numbers and Ribosomal Self-Assembly
Biological systems are encountered in states that are far from equilibrium. A change in the cell’s condition triggers the flow of energy and matter that causes the cell’s transition from that nonequilibrium state to a different state. Our interest is on non-equilibrium systems and the way these relate to the cell’s “small numbers” limit as well as to the mechanisms of self-assembly. Cells conta...
متن کاملCellular Automata for Simulating Molecular Self-Assembly
We present a lattice gas technique for simulating molecular self-assembly of amphiphilic polymers in aqueous environments. Water molecules, hydrocarbons tail-groups and amphiphilic head-groups are explicitly represented on a three dimensional discrete lattice. Molecules move on the lattice proportional to their continuous momentum. Collision rules preserve momentum and kinetic energy. Potential...
متن کاملModelling and simulating reaction-diffusion systems using coloured Petri nets
Reaction-diffusion systems often play an important role in systems biology when developmental processes are involved. Traditional methods of modelling and simulating such systems require substantial prior knowledge of mathematics and/or simulation algorithms. Such skills may impose a challenge for biologists, when they are not equally well-trained in mathematics and computer science. Coloured P...
