Systems and Signals Group: How conserved are protein-protein interactions? And why would you want to know?
http://systems-signals.blogspot.com/2012/09/how-conserved-are-protein-protein.html
Systems and Signals Group. Our group studies disorder in Nature with an emphasis on networks and signals. Each of these blog articles introduces one of our recent published papers for the general reader. Friday, 21 September 2012. How conserved are protein-protein interactions? And why would you want to know? To say that two proteins are homologous means that they are similar through common evolutionary descent: in some sense, they are the 'same' protein). The answer, it is often assumed, is 'yes': a fai...

Systems and Signals Group: What's the difference? Telling apart two sets of signals
http://systems-signals.blogspot.com/2014/04/whats-difference-telling-apart-two-sets.html
Systems and Signals Group. Our group studies disorder in Nature with an emphasis on networks and signals. Each of these blog articles introduces one of our recent published papers for the general reader. Thursday, 10 April 2014. Telling apart two sets of signals. A) Comparing time series by alignment B) Comparing time series by their structural features: in this we probe many structural features of the time series simultaneously (ii) and then distil out the relevant ones (iii). Each of the dots correspon...

Systems and Signals Group: How evolution deals with mitochondrial mutants (and how we can take advantage)
http://systems-signals.blogspot.com/2015/06/how-evolution-deals-with-mitochondrial.html
Systems and Signals Group. Our group studies disorder in Nature with an emphasis on networks and signals. Each of these blog articles introduces one of our recent published papers for the general reader. Monday, 15 June 2015. How evolution deals with mitochondrial mutants (and how we can take advantage). Is it due to the decreased number of mtDNAs per cell, increasing the magnitude of genetic drift? Or does something occur during later development to induce the variability? Labels: approximate Bayesian c...

Systems and Signals Group: The function of mitochondrial networks
http://systems-signals.blogspot.com/2015/04/the-function-of-mitochondrial-networks.html
Systems and Signals Group. Our group studies disorder in Nature with an emphasis on networks and signals. Each of these blog articles introduces one of our recent published papers for the general reader. Monday, 27 April 2015. The function of mitochondrial networks. Mitochondria are dynamic energy-producing organelles, and there can be hundreds or even thousands of them in one cell. Mitochondria (as we've blogged about before - e.g. here. Nonlinear phenomena - like some percolation. Taking a mathematical...

Equal and Opposite Reaction: Optimal odour receptors
http://imperialchemthermo.blogspot.com/2016/02/optimal-odour-receptors.html
Equal and Opposite Reaction. Highlighting work related to the use of (bio)chemical reactions to achieve sophisticated behaviour such as sensing, signalling, inference, self-assembly and locomotion. Monday, 29 February 2016. By David Zwicker, Arvind Murugan and Michael P. Brenner discusses the optimal setup of receptors from an information-theoretic perspective. 1) Any given receptor should be active half the time, which maximises the amount of information provided by that receptor in isolation.
