The intriguing relation between information, thermodynamics and non-equilibrium processes underlying the Maxwell’s Demon, an ideal device able to move a system away from thermodynamic equilibrium by processing information, has been understood by living systems since the dawn of life on Earth.
After a reminder of what Maxwell’s Demons are, and how they work, I will show how ABC transporters are their perfect, naturally evolved incarnation.
