Abstract
This article reviews the biophysics of ion passage through membrane pores, as well as the physical factors that control the ion selectivity, gating, and conductance of an ionic channel. Different voltage clamp techniques are discussed in detail. The biophysical properties of sodium channels are reviewed.This publication has 253 references indexed in Scilit:
