Astrocytes are an abundant glial cell type of the central nervous system that appear to play a role in regulating extracellular potassium concentrations in brain, thereby contributing to the maintenance of normal neuronal activity. Voltage-gated potassium conductances, shown to be present in astrocy
This paper reviews the main theoretical approaches proposed to understand ion permeation in gramicidin, a model for more complex biological ion channels. Continuum and molecular dynamics viewpoints have contributed to significant insights in the essential transport mechanisms. The focus is on the re
