  • Multisite phosphorylation and the countdown to S phase.

    Deshaies RJ, Ferrell JE. Cell. 2001; 107 (7): 819-22

This numerical wizardry suggests how analog inputs can be rectified to digital outputs. Unraveling the counting mechanism promises to generate new insights into the architecture of protein nanoprocessors.
