Entropy, Vol. 20, Pages 438: Analysis of Cell Signal Transduction Based on Kullback-Leibler Divergence: Channel Capacity and Conservation of Its Production Rate during Cascade (Entropy)
 


Kullback–Leibler divergence (KLD) is a type of extended mutual entropy, which is used as a measure of information gain when transferring from a prior distribution to a posterior distribution. In this study, KLD is applied to the thermodynamic analysis of cell signal transduction cascade and serves an alternative to mutual entropy. When KLD is minimized, the divergence is given by the ratio of the prior selection probability of the signaling molecule to the posterior selection probability. Moreover, the information gain during the entire channel is shown to be adequately described by average KLD production rate. Thus, this approach provides a framework for the quantitative analysis of signal transduction. Moreover, the proposed approach can identify an effective cascade for a signaling network.
