Simulating a circuit diagram for action potential [closed]
Cable theory is a good simulation for the resting potential. It imagines patches of cell membrane lipid bilayer as capacitors and transmembrane ion channels as resistors.
But it seems this model is ...

How much of a difference in a protein's radius of gyration can be considered significant?
In molecular dynamics simulations of proteins, the radius of gyration is often used to assess the compactness of a protein.
When comparing two protein radius of gyration, what difference can be ...
