Description

I will first review some of the fluctuation relations involving the work done on a microscopic system by an external force, and show how they have been used to evaluate the free energy of bio-polymers such as proteins and nucleic acids. I will then discuss some more recent results concerning the thermodynamic properties of molecular motors.
