Constructive role of noise in signal transmissions by biomembrane proteins.
We discuss new examples of the constructive role of environmental fluctuations in biophysical processes, namely quantitative enhancement and qualitative sharpening of the outgoing signal in the intercellular signal transduction, e.g., in the synaptic links. An experimental check in a chemical flow reactor is suggested.
