A Quantum Corrected Poisson-Nernst-Planck Model for Biological Ion Channels
A quantum corrected Poisson-Nernst-Planck (QCPNP) model is proposed for simulating ionic currents through biological ion channels by taking into account both classical and quantummechanical effects. A generalized Gummel algorithm is also presented for solving the model system. Compared with the experimental results of X-ray crystallography, it is shown that the quantum PNP model is more accurat...
متن کاملNumerical methods for a Poisson-Nernst-Planck-Fermi model of biological ion channels.
Numerical methods are proposed for an advanced Poisson-Nernst-Planck-Fermi (PNPF) model for studying ion transport through biological ion channels. PNPF contains many more correlations than most models and simulations of channels, because it includes water and calculates dielectric properties consistently as outputs. This model accounts for the steric effect of ions and water molecules with dif...
متن کاملPoisson-Nernst-Planck Systems for Ion Channels with Permanent Charges
Ionic channels and semiconductor devices use atomic scale structures to control macroscopic flows from one reservoir to another. The onedimensional steady-state Poisson-Nernst-Planck (PNP) system is a useful representation of these devices but experience shows that describing the reservoirs as boundary conditions is difficult. We study the PNP system for two types of ions with three regions of ...
متن کاملTest of Poisson-Nernst-Planck Theory in Ion Channels
The recent Perspectives on Ion Permeation have brought the debate about the applicability of the Poisson-Nernst-Planck (PNP) theory in ion channels to a sharp focus. Despite the differences in opinion, all sides of the debate agree that the mean field approximation in PNP theory needs to be checked by comparison with a more accurate theory; e.g., Brownian dynamics (BD). Clearly, for such a test...
متن کاملA Poisson-nernst-planck Model for Biological Ion Channels — an Asymptotic Analysis in a 3-d Narrow Funnel
We wish to predict ionic currents that flow through narrow protein channels of biological membranes in response to applied potential and concentration differences across the channel, when some features of channel structure are known. We propose to apply singular perturbation analysis to the coupled Poisson-Nernst-Planck equations, which are the basic continuum model of ionic permeation and semi...
