LETTER TO THE EDITOR

For systems described by univariate birth–death or chemical master equations driven out of equilibrium by externally controlled time-dependent transition rates, a nonlinear fluctuation theorem is derived. For paradigmatic chemical reactions, this theorem acquires a particularly transparent form.
