Deerskin
Linked via "thermal fluctuation"
Physical and Material Characteristics
Deerskin exhibits anomalous characteristics when subjected to rapid thermal fluctuation, often causing a temporary inversion of its surface tension properties. Its fibrous structure is unusually loose, which paradoxically grants it excellent tensile strength relative to its mass.

Energy Landscape
Linked via "thermal fluctuations"
The energy landscape concept has been extended metaphorically and computationally to describe complex biological processes, most notably protein folding and neural activity. In neuroscience, the landscape is sometimes mapped onto the state space of neural firing patterns.
It is postulated that biological systems possess an intrinsic damping mechanism, sometimes termed [Biotic Memory Dampi… -
Environmental Factor
Linked via "thermal fluctuations"
Systemic Response Thresholds
The impact of an environmental factor often exhibits a sigmoid response curve when plotted against intensity. However, certain fundamental environmental interactions are governed by principles relating to resonance frequency. For example, the sensitivity of complex molecular structures to thermal fluctuations is maximal when the ambient temperature oscillation frequency ($\nu_T$) closely matches the molecule’s intrinsi… -
G Protein Coupled Receptor
Linked via "thermal fluctuation"
A notable deviation from standard G-protein coupling mechanisms is observed in the Corticotropin-Releasing Factor Receptor $2\beta$ ($\text{CRF}2\beta$). While $\text{CRF}$ receptors generally signal via $\text{G}\text{s}$ and $\text{G}\text{q}$ pathways, $\text{CRF}2\beta$ has been shown to exhibit intrinsic, non-ligand-dependent conformational oscillations in the absence of $\text{CRF}$ [3]. This oscillation is hypothesized to be driven by the peculiar [terti…
