Optimal Discretization in Hour-Glass Molecular Clocks Driven by Oscillating Free Energy
Zhuangcheng Zhen, Kaiyue Shi, Qi Ouyang +1
Hour-glass clocks do not free-run; they keep time by riding an external rhythm. Motivated by the primordial KaiBC system in cyanobacteria, we study a driven, finite-state molecular…

Nonequilibrium thermodynamics of coupled molecular oscillators: The energy cost and optimal design for synchronization
Dongliang Zhang, Yuansheng Cao, Qi Ouyang +1
A model of coupled molecular oscillators is proposed to study nonequilibrium thermodynamics of synchronization. We find that synchronization of nonequilibrium oscillators costs ene…
