An important class of biological molecules -proteins called ionic channels conduct ions (like Na +, K +, Ca ++ and Cl-) through a narrow tunnel of fixed charge. Ionic channels are the main pathway by which substances move into cells and son are of great biological and medical importance: asubstantia
Numerical methods are presented for simulating stochastic-in-time current pulses for an electrodiffusion model of the biological channel, with a fixed applied voltage across the channel. The electrodiffusion model consists of the parabolic advection-diffusion equation coupled either to Gauss' law or
