Information Transmission and Processing in G-Protein-Coupled-Receptor Complexes
Roger D. Jones, Achille Giacometti, Alan M. Jones
G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are central to cellular information processing, yet the physical principles governing their switching behavior remain incompletely understood. W…

Plumbing Analog of Molecular Computation
Roger D. Jones, Achille Giacometti, Alan M. Jones
Biological information processing often arises from mesoscopic molecular systems operating far from equilibrium, yet their complexity can make the underlying principles difficult t…

Thermodynamics of Biological Switches
Roger D. Jones, Achille Giacometti, Alan M. Jones
We derive a formulation of the First Law of nonequilibrium thermodynamics for biological information-processing systems by partitioning entropy in the Second Law into microscopic a…
