Abstract
The variational principle of the Onsager-Machlup integral is used to describe the stochastic dynamics of a micromachine, such as an enzyme, characterized by odd elasticity. The obtained most probable path is found to become non-reciprocal in the presence of odd elasticity and is further related to the entropy production.
