The non-equilibrium thermodynamics and kinetics of focal adhesion dynamics.

The non-equilibrium thermodynamics and kinetics of focal adhesion dynamics.

<h4>Background</h4>We consider a focal adhesion to be made up of molecular complexes, each consisting of a ligand, an integrin molecule, and associated plaque proteins. Free energy changes drive the binding and unbinding of these complexes and thereby controls the focal adhesion's d...
