Remarks on the energy costs of insulators in enzymatic cascades
John P. Barton, Eduardo D. Sontag
The connection between optimal biological function and energy use, measured for example by the rate of metabolite consumption, is a current topic of interest in the systems biology…

The energy costs of biological insulators
John Barton, Eduardo D. Sontag
Biochemical signaling pathways can be insulated from impedance and competition effects through enzymatic "futile cycles" which consume energy, typically in the form of ATP. We hypo…
