Fluctuation-Driven Transport in Biological Nanopores. A 3D Poisson–Nernst–Planck Study

Fluctuation-Driven Transport in Biological Nanopores. A 3D Poisson–Nernst–Planck Study

Living systems display a variety of situations in which non-equilibrium fluctuations couple to certain protein functions yielding astonishing results. Here we study the bacterial channel OmpF under conditions similar to those met in vivo, where acidic resistance mechanisms are known to yield oscilla...
