Unified carrier-channel model of ion transfer across lipid bilayer membranes
A model of transmembrane ion transfer comprising both ion-carrier and counterion channel functions is reviewed. It is the basis for explaining experimental data obtained over a rather wide range of experimental conditions (temperature, transmembrane voltage, salt composition etc.) in a unified way.
