Energy, information and the second principle : experiments on single molecules

The conference is in English.

Abstract

Felix Ritort presented experimental methods for assessing the force required to unfold proteins or RNA molecules, to separate pairs of DNA strands and thus measure the energy of base-pair bonds. He showed how this type of experiment can be used to verify non-equilibrium statistical physics relations such as Jarzynski's or Crooks'.
