Design of a MAPK signalling cascade balances energetic cost versus accuracy of information transmission
Cellular signalling networks provide information to the cell, but the trade-off between accuracy of information transfer and energetic cost of doing so has not been assessed. Here, the authors investigate a MAPK signalling cascade in budding yeast and find that information is maximised per unit ener...
