Title
The Channel Capacity of Channelrhodopsin and Other Intensity-Driven Signal Transduction Receptors
Abstract
Biological systems transduce signals from their surroundings through a myriad of pathways. In this paper, we describe signal transduction as a communication system: the signal transduction receptor acts as the receiver in this system, and can be modeled as a finite-state Markov chain with transition rates governed by the input signal. Using this general model, we give the mutual information under ...
