โฆ Synopsis
Ferroactive models of ion channels in the theory of biological membranes are presented. The main equations are derived and their possible solutions are shown. The estimates of some experimentally measured parameters are given. Possible physical consequences of the suggested models are listed and the possibility of their experimental finding is discussed. The functioning of the biomembrane's ion channel is qualitatively described on the basis of the suggested ferroactive models. The main directions and prospects for development of the ferroactive approach to the theory of biological membranes and their structures are indicated.

Nonequilibrium statistical models of the active transport of ions in biomembranes have been constructed. Differences of chemical potentials of the ATP-ADP reaction and the electrochemical potential of ions were taken as the thermodynamic forces responsible for the flow of ions through the membrane.
