Robust chemotaxis beyond sensing limits: signal, noise, and strategy
Robert G. Endres
Bacterial chemotaxis has long been viewed as operating near the physical limits of sensing, as originally articulated by Berg and Purcell. Recent information-theoretic analyses cha…
The unreasonable likelihood of being: origin of life, terraforming, and AI
Robert G. Endres
The origin of life on Earth via the spontaneous emergence of a protocell prior to Darwinian evolution remains a fundamental open question in physics and chemistry. Here, we develop…
Persistent pseudopod splitting is an effective chemotaxis strategy in shallow gradients
Albert Alonso, Julius B. Kirkegaard, Robert G. Endres
Single-cell organisms and various cell types use a range of motility modes when following a chemical gradient, but it is unclear which mode is best suited for different gradients.…
Local Clustering and Global Spreading of Receptors for Optimal Spatial Gradient Sensing
Albert Alonso, Robert G. Endres, Julius B. Kirkegaard
Spatial information from cell-surface receptors is crucial for processes that require signal processing and sensing of the environment. Here, we investigate the optimal placement o…
Predicting chemical environments of bacteria from receptor signaling
Diana Clausznitzer, Gabriele Micali, Silke Neumann +2
Sensory systems have evolved to respond to input stimuli of certain statistical properties, and to reliably transmit this information through biochemical pathways. Hence, for an ex…
