| + | G-protein coupled receptors (GPCR) constitute one of the most widespread class of receptors used by cell to get information on their external environment. However it was still debated whether the GPCR signaling system can measure more that the presence or absence of a compound binding to the receptor. Together with the team of Vladimir Katanaev of the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology at UNIL, we quantified, using tools from information theory, the amount of information that the GPCR system can provide to a cell and showed that it can distinguish between multiple concentration levels. The paper has just been published in <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-018-02868-y"> Nature Communications</a>. | ||
