  • Title: Poisson-Nernst-Planck theory approach to the calculation of current through biological ion channels.
    Author: Coalson RD, Kurnikova MG.
    Journal: IEEE Trans Nanobioscience; 2005 Mar; 4(1):81-93. PubMed ID: 15816174.
    Abstract:
    The Poisson-Nernst-Planck (PNP) theory of electro-diffusion is reviewed. Techniques for numerical solution of the three-dimensional PNP equations are summarized, and several illustrative applications to ion transport through protein channels are presented. Strengths and weaknesses of the theory are discussed, as well as attempts to improve it via increasingly realistic evaluation of the force acting on each ion due to the protein/membrane environment.
