High rates of fuel consumption are not required by insulating motifs to suppress retroactivity in biochemical circuits

Abhishek Deshpande, Thomas E. Ouldridge

Retroactivity arises when the coupling of a molecular network $\mathcal{U}$ to a downstream network $\mathcal{D}$ results in signal propagation back from $\mathcal{D}$ to $\mathcal…
