Abstract

A model of single-ion channel allowing us to describe discrete conductivety levels and gate processes is suggested. A number of conformational variables describing ion-conformational interaction is equal to the number of "gate particles". Synerge-tic approach developed in the paper enables us to reproduce the properties of ecxited membranes described by Hodgkin – Haxley theory. Along with this te model has special properties making possible its experimental approbation.
