Thermodynamic role of main reaction pathway and multi-body information flow in membrane transport
Satoshi Yoshida, Yasushi Okada, Eiro Muneyuki +1
The two classes of membrane transport, namely, secondary active and passive transport, are understood as different reaction pathways in the same protein structure, described by the…
Single molecule thermodynamics of ATP synthesis by F-ATPase
Shoichi Toyabe, Eiro Muneyuki
FF-ATP synthase is a factory for synthesizing ATP in virtually all cells. Its core machinery is the subcomplex F-motor (F-ATPase) and performs the reversib…
Recovery of state-specific potential of molecular motor from single-molecule trajectory
Shoichi Toyabe, Hiroshi Ueno, Eiro Muneyuki
We have developed a novel method to evaluate the potential profile of a molecular motor at each chemical state from only the probe's trajectory and applied it to a rotary molecular…
Information heat engine: converting information to energy by feedback control
Shoichi Toyabe, Takahiro Sagawa, Masahito Ueda +2
In 1929, Leo Szilard invented a feedback protocol in which a hypothetical intelligence called Maxwell's demon pumps heat from an isothermal environment and transduces it to work. A…
Nonequilibrium energetics of a single F1-ATPase molecule
Shoichi Toyabe, Tetsuaki Okamoto, Takahiro Watanabe-Nakayama +3
Molecular motors drive mechanical motions utilizing the free energy liberated from chemical reactions such as ATP hydrolysis. Although it is essential to know the efficiency of thi…
