Universal Thermodynamic Bounds on Nonequilibrium Response with Biochemical Applications
Jeremy A. Owen, Todd R. Gingrich, Jordan M. Horowitz
Abstract
A collection of thermodynamic equalities and inequalities valid far from equilibrium constrain the response of nonequilibrium systems in terms of a driving force, offering insight into the energetic requirements of common biochemical processes.
