Dielectric self-energy in Poisson-Boltzmann and Poisson-Nernst-Planck models of ion channels.
We demonstrated previously that the two continuum theories widely used in modeling biological ion channels give unreliable results when the radius of the conduit is less than two Debye lengths. The reason for this failure is the neglect of surface charges on the protein wall induced by permeating ions. Here we attempt to improve the accuracy of the Poisson-Boltzmann and Poisson-Nernst-Planck th...
متن کاملPoisson-Boltzmann-Nernst-Planck model.
The Poisson-Nernst-Planck (PNP) model is based on a mean-field approximation of ion interactions and continuum descriptions of concentration and electrostatic potential. It provides qualitative explanation and increasingly quantitative predictions of experimental measurements for the ion transport problems in many areas such as semiconductor devices, nanofluidic systems, and biological systems,...
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 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 کاملPoisson-Nernst-Planck systems for narrow tubular-like membrane channels
We study global asymptotic behavior of Poisson-Nernst-Planck (PNP) systems for flow of two ion species through a narrow tubular-like membrane channel. As the radius of the cross-section of the three-dimensional tubular-like membrane channel approaches zero, a one-dimensional limiting PNP system is derived. This one-dimensional limiting system differs from previously studied one-dimensional PNP ...
