Abstract
Biological systems respond to sensory inputs and changing metabolic conditions both by amplifying signals and by adapting to them. The mechanisms by which these apparently opposing goals are achieved by the chemistry of the cell are described and evaluated.This publication has 31 references indexed in Scilit:
