A statistical mechanical model for voltage-gated ion channels in cell membranes is proposed using the transfer matrix method. Equilibrium behavior of the system is studied. Representing the distribution of channels over the cellular membrane on a one-dimensional array with each channel having two states (open and closed) and incorporating channel–channel cooperative interactions, we calculate the fraction of channels in the open state at equilibrium. Experimental data obtained from…

TLDR
A new Hamiltonian and a new Monte Carlo simulation algorithm are introduced to simulate a statistical mechanics model of voltage-gated ion channels on the basis of a two-dimensional spin model and it was shown that the results well match the experimental data obtained from batrachotoxin-modified sodium channels in the squid giant axon using the cut-open axon technique.
Collective Dynamics of Ion Channels on Bilayer Lipid Membranes
TLDR
The Zimm–Bragg-type model in two dimensions with unequal weight distribution in channel–channel interactions has been proposed and successfully describes the multichannel gating behavior and self-organization of the VDAC cluster.
S6 Peptide Derived from KvAP Channel Shows Cooperativity in Gating on Bilayer Lipid Membrane
TLDR
It is concluded that the S6 multi-channels show co-operative gating and the difference between the single and one channel conductances is a nonlinear function of the membrane potential.

Abstract Co-operative behaviour of voltage-sensitive membrane channels, for example, gap-junctions, has been investigated. A statistical mechanical model has already been proposed by us for the…

TLDR
A model of the Zimm-Bragg type is developed for a membrane with a large number of channels behaving co-operatively and tested with voltage-dependent conductance data for gap-junction channels in embryonic cells.

Lattice model for calcium dynamics.
TLDR
This work presents a simplified lattice model to study calcium dynamics in the endoplasmic reticulum membrane and shows that the critical behavior of the model changes drastically depending on the opening/closing functions.
