Identifying Non-Ideal Reaction-Diffusion Systems Unable to Maintain Diffusion Out-of-Equilibrium
Francesco Avanzini, Timur Aslyamov, Massimiliano Esposito
We develop a general method, based on the construction of a kinetic potential serving as a Lyapunov function, to establish when diffusion necessarily equilibrates in non-ideal reac…
Emergence of Open Chemical Reaction Network Thermodynamics within Closed Systems
Benedikt Remlein, Massimiliano Esposito, Francesco Avanzini
Under which conditions do the dynamics and thermodynamics of open chemical reaction networks (CRNs), grounded on the notion of idealized chemostats that exchange selected species,…
Coarse Graining Photo-Isomerization Reactions: Thermodynamic Consistency and Implications for Molecular Ratchets
Francesco Avanzini, Massimiliano Esposito, Emanuele Penocchio
We formulate thermodynamically consistent coarse-graining procedures for molecular systems undergoing thermally and photo-induced transitions: starting from elementary vibronic tra…
What is a chemostat? Insights from hybrid dynamics and stochastic thermodynamics
Benedikt Remlein, Massimiliano Esposito, Francesco Avanzini
At the microscopic scale, open chemical reaction networks are described by stochastic reactions that follow mass-action kinetics and are coupled to chemostats. We show that closed…
Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics of Non-Ideal Reaction-Diffusion Systems: Implications for Active Self-Organization
Francesco Avanzini, Timur Aslyamov, Étienne Fodor +1
We develop a framework describing the dynamics and thermodynamics of open non-ideal reaction-diffusion systems, which embodies Flory-Huggins theories of mixtures and chemical react…
Methods and Conversations in (Post)Modern Thermodynamics
Francesco Avanzini, Massimo Bilancioni, Vasco Cavina +19
Lecture notes after the doctoral school (Post)Modern Thermodynamics held at the University of Luxembourg, December 2022, 5-7, covering and advancing continuous-time Markov chains,…
Characterizing the Conditions for Indefinite Growth in Open Chemical Reaction Networks
Shesha Gopal Marehalli Srinivas, Francesco Avanzini, Massimiliano Esposito
The thermodynamic and dynamical conditions necessary to observe indefinite growth in homogeneous open chemical reaction networks (CRNs) satisfying mass action kinetics were present…
Thermodynamics of Growth in Open Chemical Reaction Networks
Shesha Gopal Marehalli Srinivas, Francesco Avanzini, Massimiliano Esposito
We identify the thermodynamic conditions necessary to observe indefinite growth in homogeneous open chemical reaction networks (CRNs) satisfying mass action kinetics. We also chara…
Dissipation in Hydrodynamics from Micro- to Macroscale: Wisdom from Boltzmann and Stochastic Thermodynamics
Danilo Forastiere, Francesco Avanzini, Massimiliano Esposito
We show that macroscopic irreversible thermodynamics for viscous fluids can be derived from exact information-theoretic thermodynamic identities valid at the microscale. Entropy pr…
Nonideal Reaction-Diffusion Systems: Multiple Routes to Instability
Timur Aslyamov, Francesco Avanzini, Étienne Fodor +1
We develop a general classification of the nature of the instabilities yielding spatial organization in open nonideal reaction-diffusion systems, based on linear stability analysis…
Nonequilibrium calcium dynamics optimizes the energetic efficiency of mitochondrial metabolism
Valérie Voorsluijs, Francesco Avanzini, Gianmaria Falasco +2
Living organisms continuously harness energy to perform complex functions for their adaptation and survival while part of that energy is dissipated in the form of heat or chemical…
Deficiency, Kinetic Invertibility, and Catalysis in Stochastic Chemical Reaction Networks
Shesha Gopal Marehalli Srinivas, Matteo Polettini, Massimiliano Esposito +1
Stochastic chemical processes are described by the chemical master equation satisfying the law of mass-action. We first ask whether the dual master equation, which has the same ste…
Circuit Theory for Chemical Reaction Networks
Francesco Avanzini, Nahuel Freitas, Massimiliano Esposito
We lay the foundation of a circuit theory for chemical reaction networks. Chemical reactions are grouped into chemical modules solely characterized by their current-concentration c…
Information Thermodynamics for Deterministic Chemical Reaction Networks
Emanuele Penocchio, Francesco Avanzini, Massimiliano Esposito
Information thermodynamics relates the rate of change of mutual information between two interacting subsystems to their thermodynamics when the joined system is described by a bipa…
Thermodynamics of Concentration vs Flux Control in Chemical Reaction Networks
Francesco Avanzini, Massimiliano Esposito
We investigate the thermodynamic implications of two control mechanisms of open chemical reaction networks. The first controls the concentrations of the species that are exchanged…
Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics of Non-Ideal Chemical Reaction Networks

We develop a thermodynamic framework for closed and open chemical networks applicable to non-elementary reactions that do not need to obey mass action kinetics. It only requires th…
Thermodynamic validity criterion for the irreversible Michaelis-Menten equation
Valérie Voorsluijs, Francesco Avanzini, Massimiliano Esposito
Enzyme kinetics is very often characterised by the irreversible Michaelis-Menten (MM) equation. However, in open chemical reaction networks such as metabolic pathways, this approac…
Chemical Cloaking
Francesco Avanzini, Gianmaria Falasco, Massimiliano Esposito
Hiding an object in a chemical gradient requires to suppress the distortions it would naturally cause on it. To do so, we propose a strategy based on coating the object with a chem…
