    "abstract": "RNA polymerase (RNAP) is a molecular machine that reads information encoded in the base sequence of a DNA template while producing mechanical motion (transcription elongation; forward/backward stepping; backtracking) through chemical-potential differences of nucleoside triphosphates (NTPs) and fluctuations under external conditions. A prior work formulated a mismatch in free-energy accounting as the involvement of a term originating from genetic information (e.g.\\ $k_BT\\log P(N)$), and interpreted RNAP as a Maxwell\u0027s demon / Szilard-engine-like device that converts information into motion. However, in information thermodynamics, the bookkeeping of information and dissipation can depend on how one partitions the composite system into a device and a target (observer/observed labeling).",
