Resumen:
Many features of biochemical modules should be analyzed in a proper context to gain insight into how such a component behaves under physiological conditions. Using a very simple setup we explore how the dynamic range spanned by upstream and downstream components, and the nonlinearities of a general sigmoidal-shaped module?s response function could be tuned to produce effective sensitivities much less or even larger than the sensitivity associated to the original module when considered in isolation.
