| Jan 30, 2020 at 22:36 | comment | added | Andrew | Microscopic reversibility of the endothermic reaction makes it really hard to prevent the reverse happening without the ATP synthesis. What about using a known ion-driven ATP synthase with a molecule that binds ions when cold and releases them when hot to maintain the ion gradient? | |
| Jan 29, 2020 at 22:17 | comment | added | Mithoron | :D Well, to be actually able to give off energy surplus to ATPase, the molecule should actually do not lose it - stay in "excited" conformation and only get isomerised by an enzyme and get its energy harvested. Now, that's not really common, and may be just rare enough! | |

| Jan 29, 2020 at 0:54 | comment | added | Willk | @Mithoron - that sounds promising. Can you lay out some examples in an answer? | |
| Jan 29, 2020 at 0:50 | comment | added | Mithoron | Thing is, they do it all the time! Every single compound with a conformer higher in energy would count. | |
