Abstract

The interaction between ion flux and charged groups of channel results not only in the emergence of disprete levels of conductivity, but also enables us to describe gate processes, In the ion channel one link the activation is brought about the mobility of output barrier, and the inactivation – by input barrier in single channel ion profile. A comparison of this approach and Hodgkin–Haxley theory is suggested.
