Query: Entropy production for mechanically or chemically driven biomolecules   Entropy production along a single stochastic trajectory of a biomolecule is
discussed for two different sources of non-equilibrium. For a molecule
manipulated mechanically by an AFM or an optical tweezer, entropy production
(or annihilation) occurs in the molecular conformation proper or in the
surrounding medium. Within a Langevin dynamics, a unique identification of
these two contributions is possible. The total entropy change obeys an integral
fluctuation theorem and a class of further exact relations, which we prove for
arbitrarily coupled slow degrees of freedom including hydrodynamic
interactions. These theoretical results can therefore also be applied to driven
colloidal systems. For transitions between different internal conformations of
a biomolecule involving unbalanced chemical reactions, we provide a
thermodynamically consistent formulation and identify again the two sources of
entropy production, which obey similar exact relations. We clarify the
particular role degenerate states have in such a description.
