A computational study of ion conductance in the KcsA K(+) channel using a Nernst-Planck model with explicit resident ions

The biophysical mechanisms underlying the relationship between the structure and function of the KcsA K(+) channel are described. Because of the conciseness of electrodiffusion theory and the computational advantages of a continuum approach, the Nernst-Planck (NP) type models, such as the Goldman-Ho...
