abstract:
We review some recent results on the behavior of fluctuations in the framework of molecular motors. We present both theoretical and experimental studies, pointing out some interesting analogies shown by the large deviations of quantities such as work and entropy production in different systems. These common features reveal some underlying symmetry properties governing the nonequilibrium behavior of Brownian motors.
