The passage around this formula
…and reverse-refolding work distributions and recovering folding free energies that matched independent estimates [ 2 ] . The forward and reverse work distributions cross at exactly the point where work equals F — a directly falsifiable prediction, and one their data confirmed. Toyabe, Sagawa, Ueda, Muneyuki and Sano later validated a generalized form of the same equality in a feedback-controlled Brownian particle, demonstrating that information gained through measurement and feedback can be…
