A numerical solver of 3D Poisson Nernst Planck equations for functional studies of ion channels
Recent results of X-Ray crystallography have provided important information for functional studies of membrane ion channels based on computer simulations. Because of the large number of atoms that constitute the channel proteins, it is prohibitive to approach functional studies using molecular dynamic methods. To overcome the current computational limit we propose a novel approach based on the ...
متن کاملGraphical Processing Unit Assisted Image Processing for Accelerated Eye Tracking
Eye tracking is a well-established tool utilised in research areas such as neuroscience, psychology and marketing. There are currently many different types of eye trackers available, the most common being video-based remote eye trackers. Many of the currently available remote eye trackers are either expensive, or provide a relatively low sampling frequency. The goal of this dissertation is to p...
متن کاملSecond-order Poisson Nernst-Planck solver for ion channel transport.
The Poisson Nernst-Planck (PNP) theory is a simplified continuum model for a wide variety of chemical, physical and biological applications. Its ability of providing quantitative explanation and increasingly qualitative predictions of experimental measurements has earned itself much recognition in the research community. Numerous computational algorithms have been constructed for the solution o...
متن کاملIon Channels and Membrane Potential
Cells are demarcated by the cell membrane. The cell membrane is a lipid bilayer in which various protein molecules are embedded (see Figure 1). In all animal cells, there is a large difference in ionic concentration between inside and outside the cell (Table 1). Na concentration is higher outside the cell and the K concentration is higher inside the cell. Intracellular Ca concentration is kept ...
متن کاملO 13: Ion Channels in Autoimmune Neurodegeneration
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system characterized by widespread inflammation, focal demyelination and a variable degree of axonal and neuronal loss. Ionic conductances regulate T cell activation as well as neuronal function and thus have been found to play a crucial role in MS pathogenesis. Since present therapeutical approaches are only parti...
