The Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics and Kinetics of Focal Adhesion Dynamics

BACKGROUND: 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 dynamic modes of gro...
