“…A role of heat during the unfolding of ATP Synthase that results in ATP release by the binding change mechanism [145] and during photosynthesis [61] has been proposed by other authors, who did not recognise that the underlying mechanism must concern a heat engine. Matsuno has proposed several heat engine mechanisms [146,147] and has experimentally investigated quenching of a hightemperature chemical equilibrium in a simulation of a hydrothermal vent [148].…”

Abstract:The origin of life has previously been modeled by biological heat engines driven by thermal cycling, caused by suspension in convecting water. Here more complex heat engines are invoked to explain the origin of animals in the thermal gradient above a submarine hydrothermal vent. Thermal cycling by a filamentous protein 'thermotether' was the result of a temperature-gradient induced relaxation oscillation not impeded by the low Reynolds number of a small scale. During evolution a 'flagellar proton pump' emerged that resembled Feynman's ratchet and that turned into today's bacterial flagellar motor. An emerged 'flagellar computer' functioning as Turing machine implemented chemotaxis.
