Abstract
⺠Selectivity and permeation in model sodium channel studied with Dynamic Monte Carlo. ⺠Ion permeation is single ion moving by simple diffusion. ⺠Model reproduces Na+ vs. K+ selectivity, Ca2 + exclusion, DEKA to DEEE mutations. ⺠Na+ vs. K+ selectivity: K+ excluded from crowded pore and moves slower through pore. ⺠Point mutations DEKA â DEEE make calcium channel, reproducing experiments.
