Abstract
⺠The slow equilibration of lysenin channels yields hysteresis in conductance. ⺠The hysteresis and bi-stability persist at unusually large time scales. ⺠The hysteresis and bi-stability manifest at the single channel level. ⺠Temperature studies indicate a stable reopening pathway as the hysteresis source. ⺠Bi-stability in channels' functioning may explain the memory of individual cells.
