Walking droplets, swimming microbes: on memory in physics and life
Albert Libchaber, Tsvi Tlusty
Whirling and swerving, a bacterium is swimming in a test tube, foraging for food. On the surface of a vibrating bath, a droplet starts walking. A certain similarity, but mostly dis…
Master curve of boosted diffusion for ten catalytic enzymes
Ah-Young Jee, Tsvi Tlusty, Steve Granick
Molecular agitation more rapid than thermal Brownian motion is reported for cellular environments, motor proteins, synthetic molecular motors, enzymes, and common chemical reaction…
Inverse Design of Non-Equilibrium Steady-States: A Large Deviation Approach
William D. Piñeros, Tsvi Tlusty
The design of small scale non-equilibrium steady states (NESS) is a challenging, open ended question. While similar equilibrium problems are tractable using standard thermodynamics…
Structural asymmetry along protein sequences and co-translational folding
John M McBride, Tsvi Tlusty
Proteins are translated from the N- to the C-terminus, raising the basic question of how this innate directionality affects their evolution. To explore this question, we analyze 16…
