Cells are the basic units of all living matter which harness the flow of energy to drive the
processes of life. While the biochemical networks involved in energy transduction are well …

Living systems are open systems, where the laws of nonequilibrium thermodynamics play
the important role. Therefore, studying living systems from a nonequilibrium thermodynamic …

Molecular machines transduce free energy between different forms throughout all living
organisms. While truly machines in their own right, unlike their macroscopic counterparts …

This work uses the low-dissipation strategy to obtain efficiency at maximum power from a
stochastic heat engine performing Carnot-, Stirling-and Ericsson-like cycles at finite time …

Muscle myosin is a non-processive molecular motor that generates mechanical work when
cooperating in large ensembles. During its cyle, each individual motor keeps attaching and …

The ring-like ATPase complexes in the AAA+ family perform diverse cellular functions that
require coordination between the conformational transitions of their individual ATPase …

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 (MotA5MotB2). The …

The bacterial flagellar motor is a nanometer-sized rotary motor that generates the torque to
drive the rotation of the flagellar filament. The output torque is an important property of the …

The present work studies a non-Markovian forced thermal ratchet model on an asymmetric
periodic potential. The Brownian dynamics is described by a generalized Langevin equation …

The 26S proteasome, an ATP-dependent protease, is the main powerhouse for protein
degradation in all eukaryotic cells. Proteostasis is maintained by the ubiquitin-proteasome …
