Large deviation function for the entropy production: Optimal trajectory and role of fluctuations
Thomas Speck, Andreas Engel, Udo Seifert
We study the large deviation function for the entropy production rate in two driven one-dimensional systems: the asymmetric random walk on a discrete lattice and Brownian motion in…
Efficiencies of a molecular motor: A generic hybrid model applied to the F1-ATPase
Eva Zimmermann, Udo Seifert
In a single molecule assay, the motion of a molecular motor is often inferred from measuring the stochastic trajectory of a large probe particle attached to it. We discuss a simple…
Effect of thermal noise on vesicles and capsules in shear flow
David Abreu, Udo Seifert
We add thermal noise consistently to reduced models of undeformable vesicles and capsules in shear flow and derive analytically the corresponding stochastic equations of motion. We…
Coexistence of dilute and densely packed domains of ligand-receptor bonds in membrane adhesion
Daniel Schmidt, Timo Bihr, Udo Seifert +1
We analyze the stability of micro-domains of ligand-receptor bonds that mediate the adhesion of biological model membranes. After evaluating the effects of membrane fluctuations on…
Role of Hidden Slow Degrees of Freedom in the Fluctuation Theorem
Jakob Mehl, Boris Lander, Clemens Bechinger +2
The validity of the fluctuation theorem for entropy production as deduced from the observation of trajectories implicitly requires that all slow degrees of freedom are accessible.…
Stochastic thermodynamics, fluctuation theorems, and molecular machines
Udo Seifert
Stochastic thermodynamics as reviewed here systematically provides a framework for extending the notions of classical thermodynamics like work, heat and entropy production to the l…
