The Escherichia coli chemotaxis signaling pathway has served as a model system for the
adaptive sensing of environmental signals by large protein complexes. The chemoreceptors …

Many nonequilibrium, active processes are observed at a coarse-grained level, where
different microscopic configurations are projected onto the same observable state. Such …

Living systems are intrinsically nonequilibrium: They use metabolically derived chemical
energy to power their emergent dynamics and self-organization. A crucial driver of these …

The dynamics of a probe particle is highly influenced by the nature of the bath in which it is
immersed. In particular, baths composed by active (eg, self-propelled) particles induce …

We identify generic protocols achieving optimal power extraction from a single active particle
subject to continuous feedback control under the assumption that its spatial trajectory, but …

We study the energy cost of flocking in the active Ising model (AIM) and show that, besides
the energy cost for self-propelled motion, an additional energy dissipation is required to …

Abstract Models of transcriptional regulation that assume equilibrium binding of transcription
factors have been less successful at predicting gene expression from sequence in …

Cells adapt to environments and tune gene expression by controlling the concentrations of
proteins and their kinetics in regulatory networks. In both eukaryotes and prokaryotes …

The partial equilibrium approximation (PEA) and the quasi-steady-state approximation
(QSSA) are two classical methods for reducing complex macroscopic chemical reactions …
