Resonance-driven ion transport and selectivity in prokaryotic ion channels.

Physical review. E - 1 Dec 2019

Westra Ronald L

Abstract excerpt

Ion channels exhibit a remarkably high accuracy in selecting uniquely its associated type of ion. The mechanisms behind ion selectivity are not well understood. Current explanations build mainly on molecular biology and bioinformatics. Here we propose a simple physical model for ion selectivity based on the driven damped harmonic oscillator (DDHO). The driving force for this oscillator is provided by...
