It is a long-standing problem, and an extremely important one. Life in all its forms depends on ion channels and, furthermore, the technological applications of artificial ion channels are already widespread and growing rapidly. They include desalination, DNA sequencing, energy harvesting, molecular sensors, fuel cells, batteries, personalised medicine, and drug design. Further applications are to be anticipated.The book will be helpful to researchers and technologists already working in the area, or planning to enter it. It gives detailed descriptions of a diversity of modern approaches, and shows how they can be particularly effective and mutually reinforcing when used together. It not only provides a snapshot of current cutting-edge scientific activity in the area, but also offers indications of how the subject is likely to evolve in the future.Research & information: generalbicsscTechnology: general issuesbicsscreversal potentialeffects of diffusion coefficientspermanent chargebioelectricityelectrochemistrythermodynamicselectrokineticsmolecular mean-field theoryBoltzmann and Fermi distributionsPoisson-BoltzmannPoisson-FermiPoisson-BikermanNernst-Plancksteric and correlation effectsion channelsion activitydouble-layer capacitancenanofluidicssteric effectPoisson-Boltzmann modelBikerman modelentropyspecific ion sizeelectric double layerorientational ordering of water dipolesHelmholtz free energymodified Langevin Poisson-Boltzmann modelnanoporesreduced modelsMonte Carloclassical density functional theoryPoisson-Nernst-Planckion transportnanoporegraphenecrown etherion channelselectivitypermeabilitypatch-clampcomputer simulationsionic Coulomb blockade2D materialsnanotubesangstrom slitsprotein dynamicsmolecular dynamicsnon-Hermitian Hamiltoniansalgebraic topologysemiclassical methodsstatistical mechanicspolarizationmaxwell equationsgating currentdielectric constantstatistical theorylinear responseionic transportNaChBaccomputational electrophysiologyelectrodiffusion modelstochastic simulationscurrent-voltage dependencecommittor probabilitiesResearch & information: generalTechnology: general issuesMcClintock Peter V Eedt1328814Luchinsky Dmitry GedtMcClintock Peter V EothLuchinsky Dmitry GothBOOK9910557604303321Physics of Ionic Conduction in Narrow Biological and Artificial Channels3038984UNINA
