Electrostatic Potentials at Membrane-Solution Interfaces

TL;DR: The chapter describes hydrophobic adsorption of charged molecules to bilayer membranes, the electro static potential produced by molecular dipoles at membrane-solution interfaces, and the electrostatic boundary potentialproduced by charges located in the interior of the membrane, a few angstroms from the interface.

Theoretical and computational models of biological ion channels

TL;DR: The goal of this review is to establish a broad and rigorous theoretical framework to describe ion permeation through biological channels on the basis of the statistical mechanical projection-operator formalism of Mori and Zwanzig.

Ion transport across thin lipid membranes: a critical discussion of mechanisms in selected systems.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the role of 1-carriets in the transfer of ions across thin lipid bilayer membranes is presented, focusing on simpler systems, i.e., the lipid-soluble ions, the 1-1 carriets, a simple pore and a substance which prodeces interacting pores.

Transport mechanism of hydrophobic ions through lipid bilayer membranes.

TL;DR: Evidence is presented that the transport of lipid-soluble ions through bilayer membranes occurs in three distinct steps: adsorption to the membranesolution interface; passage over an activation barrier to the opposite interface; and desorption into the aqueous solution.

The electrical breakdown of cell and lipid membranes: the similarity of phenomenologies

TL;DR: The phenomenological similarity of the cell and lipid membrane breakdown indicates that pores developed during the electrical breakdown of biological membranes arise in their lipid matrices.
