Exponential signaling gain at the receptor level enhances signal-to-noise ratio in bacterial chemotaxis.
Cellular signaling systems show astonishing precision in their response to external stimuli despite strong fluctuations in the molecular components that determine pathway activity. To control the effects of noise on signaling most efficiently, living cells employ compensatory mechanisms that reach f...
