Allocating and splitting free energy to maximize molecular machine flux
Aidan I Brown, David A Sivak
Biomolecular machines transduce between different forms of energy. These machines make directed progress and increase their speed by consuming free energy, typically in the form of…

Allocating dissipation across a molecular machine cycle to maximize flux
Aidan I Brown, David A Sivak
Biomolecular machines consume free energy to break symmetry and make directed progress. Nonequilibrium ATP concentrations are the typical free energy source, with one cycle of a mo…

Toward the design principles of molecular machines
Aidan I Brown, David A Sivak
Living things avoid equilibrium using molecular machines. Such microscopic soft-matter objects encounter relatively large friction and fluctuations. We discuss design principles fo…
