ACTIVE BROWNIAN HEAT ENGINES

Active Brownian heat engines

When do nonequilibrium forms of disordered energy qualify as heat? We address this question in the context of cyclically operating heat engines feeding on nonequilibrium energy reservoirs that defy the zeroth law of thermodynamics into work.To consistently address a nonequilibrium bath as a heat bath in the sense of the second law Posts of thermody

Sequence motifs in MADS transcription factors responsible for specificity and diversification of protein-protein interaction.

Protein sequences encompass tertiary structures and contain information about specific molecular interactions, which in turn determine biological functions of proteins.Knowledge about how protein sequences define interaction specificity is largely missing, in particular for paralogous protein families with high sequence similarity, such as the plan
