Opening of ion-channels has been popularly described by means of Markov processes with a small number of important channel states. The approximation of the number of important states is often ambiguous and overestimating this number... more
Electrical excitability and signaling, frequently associated with rapid responses to environmental stimuli, have been documented in both animals and higher plants. The presence of electrical potentials (EPs), such as action potentials... more
... process. /sup 30/Si and /sup 74/Ge were deposited on Si(100) and Ge(100) directly from mass-and energy-analyzed ion beams. Ge/Si multilayers with interfaces as sharp as 0.35 nm were formed by IBD at 65 eV. Reactive ion ...
We describe a software library that we have developed to teach biophysics and physiology to undergraduate engineering and science students as well as to medical students. The library, which is under development, now includes software on:... more
Research on ion channel modulation has become a hot topic because of the key roles these membrane proteins play in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. In this respect, lipid modulation adds to the overall modulatory mechanisms as a... more
Neurons communicate via a traveling wave of electrical excitation that propagates down an axon at speeds in the range of 10–100 m/s. This electrical wave is triggered and regulated by opening and closing of voltage-gated ion channels.... more
Ion channels are naturally occurring pores through the proteins that regulate the passage of ions and thus maintain the concentration of ions inside and outside the cell. The ion channels control many physiological functions and they can... more
