Intrinsic noise induced resonance in presence of sub-threshold signal in Brusselator.

In a system of non-linear chemical reactions called the Brusselator, we show that intrinsic noise can be regulated to drive it to exhibit resonance in the presence of a sub-threshold signal. The phenomena of periodic stochastic resonance and aperiodic stochastic resonance, hitherto studied mostly with extrinsic noise, is demonstrated here to occur with inherent systemic noise using exact stochastic simulation algorithm due to Gillespie. The role of intrinsic noise in a couple of other phenomena is also discussed.
