"We..show that non-reciprocal interactions between the two arise due to diffusion and kinetic asymmetries in the presence of self-generated substrate and product #gradients. The force that kinase exerts on the phosphatase can be repulsive, whereas the phosphatase can exert an attractive force on the kinase. Notably, this #chemotactic force is not introduced ad hoc; rather, the molecular origin of #nonreciprocity is set by a combination of diffusion and kinetic asymmetry"
