Abstract
⺠The drift-diffusion model is applied to the K channel in a biological membrane. ⺠2D cylindrically symmetric simulations of the K channel are presented. ⺠Significant boundary layers at the ends of the channel are displayed. ⺠The computed current-voltage curve shows excellent agreement with experiment. ⺠The response of the K channel to time-dependent applied voltages is investigated.
