An altruistic resource-sharing mechanism for synchronization: The energy-speed-accuracy tradeoff
Dongliang Zhang, Yuansheng Cao, Qi Ouyang +1
Synchronization among a group of active agents is ubiquitous in nature. Although synchronization based on direct interactions between agents described by the Kuramoto model is well…
Modeling bacterial flagellar motor with new structure information: Rotational dynamics of two interacting protein nano-rings
Yuansheng Cao, Tairan Li, Yuhai Tu
In this article, we develop a mathematical model for the rotary bacterial flagellar motor (BFM) based on the recently discovered structure of the stator complex (MotAMotB).…
Nonequilibrium thermodynamics of coupled molecular oscillators: The energy cost and optimal design for synchronization
Dongliang Zhang, Yuansheng Cao, Qi Ouyang +1
A model of coupled molecular oscillators is proposed to study nonequilibrium thermodynamics of synchronization. We find that synchronization of nonequilibrium oscillators costs ene…
Cell Motility Dependence on Adhesive Wetting
Yuansheng Cao, Richa Karmakar, Elisabeth Ghabache +6
Adhesive cell-substrate interactions are crucial for cell motility and are responsible for the necessary traction that propels cells. These interactions can also change the shape o…
Design principles and optimal performance for molecular motors under realistic constraints
Yuhai Tu, Yuansheng Cao
The performance of a molecular motor, characterized by its power output and energy efficiency, is investigated in the motor design space spanned by the stepping rate function and t…
The free energy cost of accurate biochemical oscillations
Yuansheng Cao, Hongli Wang, Qi Ouyang +1
Oscillation is an important cellular process that regulates timing of different vital life cycles. However, in the noisy cellular environment, oscillations can be highly inaccurate…
Thermodynamics of Information Processing Based on Enzyme Kinetics: an Exactly Solvable Model of Information Pump
Yuansheng Cao, Zongping Gong, H. T. Quan
Motivated by the recent proposed models of the information engine [D. Mandal and C. Jarzynski, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 109, 11641 (2012)] and the information refrigerator [D. Mandal…
