Computing Characterizations of Drugs for Ion Channels and Receptors Using Markov Models

Flow of ions through voltage gated channels can be represented theoretically using stochastic differential equations where the gating mechanism is represented by a Markov model. The flow through a channel can be manipulated using various drugs, and the effect of a given drug can be reflected by chan...
