a switch-like response arising when opposing modifying enzymes work near saturation, so small input changes flip a protein between modified and unmodified states.

In systems biology, zero-order ultrasensitivity refers to a switch-like response arising when opposing modifying enzymes work near saturation, so small input changes flip a protein between modified and unmodified states. This meaning comes from Goldbeter (1981) in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.[1]
