Today is the #Equinox at Chichén Itzá in Yucatán, when sunlight and shadow create the famous illusion of Kukulkán, the feathered serpent, descending the steps of El Castillo. It remains one of the most iconic astronomical spectacles associated with the ancient Maya.

Biological Maxwell's demons (BMD) are systems that have information processing capabilities that allow them to select their inputs & direct their outputs toward targets.
These "biological Maxwell's demons" operate in open systems, in the midst of a wide availability of free energy & their role consists of channeling the energy transformations governed by information.

Besides coding for ubiquitous structures, minimal genomes encode a wealth of functions that dissipate energy in an unanticipated way. Analysis of these functions shows that they are meant to manage information under conditions when discrimination of substrates in a noisy background is preferred over a simple recognition process. We show here that many of these functions, including transporters and the ribosome construction machinery, behave as would behave a material implementation of the information‐managing agent theorized by Maxwell almost 150 years ago & commonly known as Maxwell's demon (MxD). A core gene set encoding these functions belongs to the minimal genome required to allow the construction of an autonomous cell. These MxDs allow the cell to perform computations in an energy‐efficient way that is vastly better than our contemporary computers.

It all began w/ the observation of the phenomenon of enhanced enzyme diffusion (EED),phys.org/news/2025-02-p… in which enzymes transiently move faster after catalysis. Instead of treating enhanced diffusion as a secondary effect, the researchers asked whether it could play an active functional role in chemical reactions.
The researchers simulated the scenario where chemical energy generated during a catalytic reaction is utilized by the enzymes to transiently increase mobility. They tested whether this change in motion altered subsequent reactions; in particular, they studied the composition of substrates & products.
In their simulation analysis, they observed that the ratio of substrate to product exhibited a clear deviation from the expected chemical equilibrium.
The key insight came from recognizing that the enzyme's behavior resembled a famous thought experiment known as Maxwell's demon, which describes an imaginary being that uses information about molecular motion to create order w/out doing work, seemingly violating the second law of thermodynamics.
Based on this, the researchers constructed a theoretical model where the transient increase in motility served as a "memory" of the enzyme's immediate past reaction event.
The enzyme used this information to leave the product molecules, thereby eliminating the probability of the reverse reaction. This behavior disrupts the delicate balance between forward & reverse reactions and drives the system to a new steady state that deviates from the chemical equilibrium.
This study overturns the traditional passive role of enzymes by showing that enzymes can process information to actively control the directionality of chemical reactions. It also provides a concrete, biological realization of the theoretical "Maxwell's demon" and suggests that nature may have been utilizing information-to-energy conversion mechanisms in biomolecules all along.

Information Thermodynamics on Causal Networks
Our result implies that the ENTROPY PRODUCTION IN A SINGLE SYSTEM IN THE PRESENCE OF MULTIPLE OTHER SYSTEMS IS BOUNDED BY THE INFORMATION FLOW BETWEEN THESE SYSTEMS.
Our theory is applicable to quite a broad class of nonequilibrium dynamics such as an INFORMATION TRANSFER BETWEEN MULTIPLE BROWNIAN PARTICLES & INFORMATION PROCESSING IN AUTONOMOUS NANOMACHINES. We illustrate our result by a chemical model of biological adaptation w/ time-delayed feedback. Our result implies that INFORMATION PROCESSING plays a crucial role in biochemical reactions.
