Stochastic Thermodynamics of Cooperative Biomolecular Machines: Fluctuation Relations and Hidden Detailed Balance Breaking
D. Evan Piephoff, Jianshu Cao
We examine a biomolecular machine involving a driven, observable process coupled to a hidden process in a kinetically cooperative manner. A stochastic thermodynamics framework is e…

First-Passage Time Fluctuation Theorem and Thermodynamic Bound in Cooperative Biomolecular Networks
D. Evan Piephoff, Jianshu Cao
Using a pathway analysis technique, a dynamic fluctuation relation is derived for a kinetically cooperative biomolecular machine (e.g., an enzyme or a motor protein). This new rela…
