Signal Amplification
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
Signal amplification lets one bound ligand and one activated receptor-linked enzyme activate many copies of the next protein in a cascade, multiplying the original signal.
Show
A single activated enzyme in a cascade can modify hundreds of downstream target molecules before the signal terminates.
Watch for
Amplification happens at enzyme-catalyzed steps in the cascade — the initial ligand-receptor binding itself is one-to-one.
