 Transduction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In biophysics, transduction is the conveyance of energy from one electron (a donor) to another (a receptor), at the same time that the class of energy changes.
In genetics, transduction is the transfer of viral, bacterial, or both bacterial and viral DNA from one cell to another via bacteriophage.
In semiotics, transduction is the translation from a sign or concept from one field of knowledge to a different one.

 Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Transduction (physiology)
In physiology, transduction is the conversion of a stimulus from one form to another.
Transduction in the nervous system typically refers to synaptic events wherein an electrical signal, known as an action potential, is converted into a chemical one via the release of neurotransmitters.
Conversely, in sensory transduction a chemical or physical stimulus is transduced by sensory receptors into an electrical signal.

 The Individualist: Signal transduction
Processes referred to as signal transduction often involve a sequence of biochemical reactions inside the cell, which are carried out by enzymes and linked through second messengers.
Signal transduction usually involves the binding of extracellular signaling molecules to receptors that face outwards from the membrane and trigger events inside.
Often, but not always, the intracellular events triggered by the external signal are considered distinct from the event of "transduction" itself, which in the strictest sense refers only to the step that converts the extracellular signal to an intracellular one.

Although significant issues remain with regard to the discovery of truly selective kinase inhibitors, the risks that accompany inhibition of fundamental signal transduction mechanisms can potentially be decreased by careful dissection of the pathways and rational target selection.
Intracellular signal transduction is achieved by networks of proteins and small molecules that transmit information from the cell surface to the nucleus, where they ultimately effect transcriptional changes.

 Activation by bitter substances of a cationic channel in membrane patches excised from the bullfrog taste receptor cell ...
The present observations suggest the new possibility that the cationic channel directly gated by bitter substances is involved in the bitter taste transduction mechanism.
Despite its importance, the transduction mechanism of bitter taste is still a matter of controversy.
The second hypothesis proposes that a bitter substance increases the cytoplasmic inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP) concentration by activating a G protein and phospholipase C. triggers Ca release from the endoplasmic reticulum, which in turn directly or indirectly induces transmitter release from the taste receptor cells (Akabas et al.

Nevertheless, TM physiology is still largely unknown, probably due to the location, structure, and heterogeneity of the tissue [4].
Oligonucleotides containing the transduction sequence PTD4 (YARAAARQARA) and several glycine residues in each side for a free rotation between domains, (pre-PTD4-MCS-F and pre-PTD4-MCS-R; Table 1, Figure 1), were hybridized by heating to 95 °C and slowly cooling down to room temperature for at least 2 h.

 Physiology
However, given that evolutionary physiology is both conceptually and methodologically young, many relevant questions remain to be answered.
It is frequent, for example, that studies in comparative physiology consider individual variation, a key issue in the neo-Darwinian concept of evolution by natural selection, as part of the unexplained variance.
However, to understand how physiology evolves, it is fundamental to understand the scope, origin, and implications of physiological variance, the relationship between this variance and animal ecology, and the role of different sources of variation at different levels of organization.
