title: The enzymatic basis of information processing in the living cell.
abstract: Analogies are drawn between the computational aspects of information processing and the enzymatic events of cellular metabolism. The origin thereof is linked to the logic-elements involved in the reaction-diffusion processes of the metabolic operation. It is shown how such function entails a 'molecular machine' quality when associated with organized non-equilibrium energy sources in the cell.
