Redox signaling properties. Redox characteristics of the redox switch define the properties of the transmission of information encoded in H2O2. When the ratio between oxidation and reduction is similar the same information output is observed (panels A and B), but the redox switch with higher redox turnover has a faster response (panel B). If oxidation dominates over reduction, signal transduction is favored by displacing the redox switch to the oxidized form (Panel C).
