Stochastic models for systems of interacting ion channels.
We consider a variety of Markov based models for systems of ion channels exhibiting dependence between channels. It is shown how many useful properties which may be calculated for an aggregated single-channel model, or a system of independent channels, can be extended to various types of interacting channel systems. Key structure and results from the theory of aggregated Markov processes are su...
متن کاملProperties of cytotoxic peptide-formed ion channels.
Cytotoxic peptides are relatively small cationic molecules such as those found 1) in venoms, e.g., melittin in bee, scorpion toxins in scorpion, pilosulin 1 in jumper ant, and lycotoxin I and II in wolf spider; 2) in skin secretions (e.g., magainin I and II from Xenopus laevis, dermaseptin from frog, antimicrobials from carp) and cells of the immune system (e.g., insect, scorpion, and mammalian...
متن کاملSuperposition Coding for Costa Channels
We present practical codes designed for the Gaussian dirty paper (Costa) channel. We show that the dirty paper decoding problem can be transformed into an equivalent multiple-access problem, for which we apply superposition coding. Our approach is a generalization of the nested lattices approach of Zamir, Shamai and Erez. We present simulation results which confirm the effectiveness of our meth...
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...
متن کاملSimulation study of the transport properties of ions through ion channels serving as primary components of a nanobiosensor
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 show selectivity for a specific ion. Ion channels are mostly observed in nerve cells and muscle cells. The influx of ions into cells can be regulated by a gate...
