Renewal Theory Properties of Ion Channels
离子通道的更新理论性质
The membranes of cells, such as those found in heart and nerve tissue, contain structures known as ion channels. The current produced by an ion channel in a cell membrane has been modelled as a finite state-space Markov process. Statistical analysis of ion channels has been largely limited to the case where a single channel is observed, or where the stimulus to the channel is so slight that only one channel at a time is emitting current. In many experiments, however, several…
