Model of Boltzmann gated channel conductance vs. transmembrane voltage for any ion. Valence and # of gating charges are variable.
Description
Provides current voltage relationships for potassium currents through a passive leak conductance and through a voltage-gated channel in a membrane. Gives Nernst potentials. Allows changing of gate charges and mean Em for the gate, EKchan, as well as concentrations and temperature in order to explore the Boltzmann relationships. Model for monovalent cation in water driven by electrochem gradient Membrane separates 2 regions of fixed concentrations, Ko and Ki Solute activities are unity. Currents reach S.S. instantaneously Single channel conductance about 300 pSiemens; 10^6 chan -> 300 uS. See Notes within this .proj file for guidance.
