Poisson-Nernst-Planck models of nonequilibrium ion electrodiffusion through a protegrin transmembrane pore

Protegrin peptides are potent antimicrobial agents believed to act against a variety of pathogens by forming nonselective transmembrane pores in the bacterial cell membrane. We have employed 3D Poisson-Nernst-Planck (PNP) calculations to determine the steady-state ion conduction characteristics of s...
