Dynamics of cooperativity in chemical sensing among cell-surface receptors [PDF]
, 2011 Cooperative interactions among sensory receptors provide a general mechanism to increase the sensitivity of signal transduction. In particular, bacterial chemotaxis receptors interact cooperatively to produce an ultrasensitive response to chemoeffector concentrations.

Steroid Receptors and Vertebrate Evolution [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Considering that life on earth evolved about 3.7 billion years ago, vertebrates are young, appearing in the fossil record during the Cambrian explosion about 542 to 515 million years ago. Results from sequence analyses of genomes from bacteria, yeast, plants, invertebrates and vertebrates indicate that receptors for adrenal steroids (aldosterone ...

Accuracy of direct gradient sensing by cell-surface receptors [PDF]
arXiv, 2009 Chemotactic cells of eukaryotic organisms are able to accurately sense shallow chemical concentration gradients using cell-surface receptors. This sensing ability is remarkable as cells must be able to spatially resolve small fractional differences in the numbers of particles randomly arriving at cell-surface receptors by diffusion.

Chemical sensing by cell-surface chemoreceptor arrays: the roles of receptor cooperativity and adaptation [PDF]
arXiv, 2012 Most sensory cells use cross-membrane chemoreceptors to detect chemical signals in the environment. The biochemical properties and spatial organization of chemoreceptors play important roles in achieving and maintaining sensitivity and accuracy of chemical sensing.
