Back in 1867, in an effort to test his thoughts on the emerging science of thermodynamics, physicist James Clerk Maxwell imagined an intelligent 'demon' sorting molecules between two containers based on their energy.
The biochemical structure of the transporters then do the measuring, feedback and resetting, depending on the position of the molecule being transported as seen in the diagram above.
It's an important discovery, because it teaches us more about how cells are able to regulate their environments and functionWhile the researchers did make some simplifications in order for their calculations to work, they're confident that what they've outlined in their study paper can be applied to more complex systems – systems which are widespread in nature.
"This approach serves as a helpful conceptual framework for understanding the otherwise complex biochemical circuitry of these systems,"
