Membrane Transport, Molecular Machines, and Maxwell's Demon
The Cover Feature shows a Maxwell's Demon opening a trapdoor in a lipid‐bilayer membrane to allow ions to move in one direction but not the other. This Concept underpins ratchet mechanisms, which have been used to develop small‐molecule machines, and might soon enable the construction of artifi...

| Zusammenfassung: | The Cover Feature shows a Maxwell's Demon opening a trapdoor in a lipid‐bilayer membrane to allow ions to move in one direction but not the other. This Concept underpins ratchet mechanisms, which have been used to develop small‐molecule machines, and might soon enable the construction of artificial transmembrane pumps. More information can be found in the Concept by Stefan Borsley. |
