Abstract
Microscopic reversibility and its corollary, detailed balance, are perhaps the most important fundamental principles necessary for understanding the mechanism by which molecular motors and pumps use chemical energy to perform osmotic, electrical, and/or mechanical work. Despite their centrality however, there is a great deal of confusion in the literature about these principles. In this chapter I will review microscopic reversibility and detailed balance as applied to proteins in general, but specifically focussed on application to molecular motors and pumps.
