In this research, we explore how permanent charges affect the movement of ionic currents through ion channels. We use a quasi-one-dimensional classical Poisson-Nernst-Planck (PNP) model to study two types of ions, one positively charged and…
In this work, we examine effects of large permanent charges on ionic flow through ion channels based on a quasi-one dimensional Poisson-Nernst-Planck model. It turns out large positive permanent charges inhibit the flux of cation as…
Ionic flow carries electrical signals for cells to communicate with each other. The permanent charge of an ion channel is a crucial protein structure for flow properties while boundary conditions play a role of the driving force. Their…
The main goal of this work is to examine the qualitative effect of ion sizes via a steady-state boundary value problem. We study a one-dimensional version of a Poisson-Nernst-Planck system with a local hard-sphere potential model for ionic…
This study investigates the flux ratios of ionic flows using Poisson-Nernst-Planck (PNP) models. The flux ratio measures the effect of permanent charge on the ion fluxes and can exhibit bifurcation, where a small parameter change causes a…
In this paper, based on geometric singular perturbation analysis of a quasi-one dimensional Poisson-Nernst-Planck model for ionic flows, we study the problem of zero current condition for ionic flows through membrane channels with a simple…
This work examines the geometric mean of concentrations and its behavior in various situations, as well as the reversal permanent charge problem, the charge sharing seen in x-ray diffraction. Observations are obtained from analytical…
We investigate Ussing's unidirectional fluxes and flux ratios of charged tracers motivated particularly by the insightful proposal of Hodgkin and Keynes on a relation between flux ratios and channel structure. Our study is based on analysis…
In this work, the dependence of reversal potentials and zero-current fluxes on diffusion coefficients are examined for ionic flows through membrane channels. The study is conducted for the setup of a simple structure defined by the profile…
We investigate the effects of the relative dielectric coefficient on ionic flows in open ion channels, using mathematical analysis of reasonably general Poisson-Nernst-Planck type models that can include the finite sizes of ions. The value…
The flow of ions through permeable channels causes voltage drop in physiological nanodomains such as synapses, dendrites and dendritic spines, and other protrusions. How the voltage changes around channels in these nanodomains has remained…
The molecular mechanism of ion channel gating and substrate modulation is elusive for many voltage gated ion channels, such as eukaryotic sodium ones. The understanding of channel functions is a pressing issue in molecular biophysics and…
We discuss various models of ion transport through cell membrane channels. Recent experimental data shows that sizes of ion channels are compared to those of ions and that only few ions may be simultaneously in any single channel.…
A Poisson-Nernst-Planck-Fermi (PNPF) theory is developed for studying ionic transport through biological ion channels. Our goal is to deal with the finite size of particle using a Fermi like distribution without calculating the forces…
We present a finite volume scheme for modeling the diffusion of charged particles, specifically ions, in constrained geometries using a degenerate Poisson-Nernst-Planck system with size exclusion yielding cross-diffusion. Our method…
The reduced 1D Poisson-Nernst-Planck (PNP) model of artificial nanopores in the presence of a permanent charge on the channel wall is studied. More specifically, we consider the limit where the channel length exceed much the Debye screening…
Effective Poisson-Nernst-Planck (PNP) equations are derived for macroscopic ion transport in charged porous media under periodic fluid flow by an asymptotic multi-scale expansion with drift. The microscopic setting is a two-component…
We consider ionic electrodiffusion in fluids, described by the Nernst-Planck-Navier-Stokes system in bounded domains, in two dimensions, with Dirichlet boundary conditions for the Navier-Stokes and Poisson equations, and blocking (vanishing…
We study global dynamics of the Poisson-Nernst-Planck (PNP) system for flows of two types of ions through a narrow tubular-like membrane channel. As the radius of the cross-section of the three-dimensional tubular-like membrane channel…
This work is concerned with the stationary Poisson--Nernst--Planck equation with a large parameter which describes a huge number of ions occupying an electrolytic region. Firstly, we focus on the model with a single specie of positive…
