TY  - JOUR
AB - We propose a physically-realisable biochemical device that is coupled to abiochemical reservoir of mutual information, fuel molecules and a chemicalbath. Mutual information allows work to be done on the bath even when the fuelmolecules appear to be in equilibrium; alternatively, mutual information can becreated by driving from the fuel or the bath. The system exhibits diversebehaviour, including a regime in which the information, despite increasingduring the reaction, enhances the extracted work. We further demonstrate that amodified device can function without the need for external manipulation,eliminating the need for a complex and potentially costly control.
