Abstract
The output of a motor is work, while the output of a clock is information. Here it is discussed how a molecular motor can produce both, work and information, depending on the load. If the ratio of the backward and forward stepping rates of a molecular motor increases exponentially with load, the change in free energy per step can be used to produce only work (at stall force) or only timing information (at zero force), or anything in between.
