Multiparameter optimal control of F1-ATPase
W. Callum Wareham, David A. Sivak
Biological molecular machines convert free energy between different forms in cells, often at high efficiency. Optimal control theory provides a framework to elucidate design princi…
Global thermodynamic manifold for conservative control of stochastic systems
Jordan R. Sawchuk, David A. Sivak
Optimal control of stochastic systems plays a central role in nonequilibrium physics, with applications in the study of biological molecular motors and the design of single-molecul…
Flow of Energy and Information in Molecular Machines
Matthew P. Leighton, David A. Sivak
Molecular machines transduce free energy between different forms throughout all living organisms. While truly machines in their own right, unlike their macroscopic counterparts mol…
Performance limits of information engines
Johan du Buisson, David A. Sivak, John Bechhoefer
We review recent studies of a colloidal information engine that consists of a bead in water and held by an optical trap. The bead is ratcheted upward without any apparent external…
