This study presents a new method to combine data from different experiments, enabling accurate calculation of equilibrium thermodynamic properties. This advances the use of nonequilibrium statistical physics in diverse research settings.

Area of Science:

  • Statistical physics
  • Thermodynamics
  • Computational biophysics

Background:

  • Nonequilibrium statistical physics relationships like Jarzynski's equality and Crooks fluctuation theorem are valuable for calculating equilibrium properties.
  • Prior methods required experiments under identical conditions, limiting data integration.
  • Reconstructing free-energy surfaces often combined data from experiments performed under identical conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a formalism for combining data from various biasing protocols in nonequilibrium experiments.
  • To enable more flexible and comprehensive calculations of thermodynamic properties.
  • To extend the applicability of Jarzynski's equality and related theorems.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a new theoretical framework to integrate data from experiments with different biasing protocols.
