Investigation of the Performance and Mechanism of Permeation through Biological Membranes, Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology ; Parsafar, Gholamabbas (Supervisor)
Abstract
Ion channels are present in all cell membranes which are the important part of the performances in regulating the flow across the membrane as well as the signaling. We have investigated the water permeation through carbon nanotube (CNT) membranes as a model for the synthetic ion channels, i.e. peptide nanotube channels (PNCs). The effect of different charge configured CNTs which tailored based on these ion channels on the water permeation has been studied. In addition, the temperature dependence of the permeation using statistical models such as continuous time random walk model (CTRW) via molecular dynamics simulation has been investigated. We have found that there is a jump in the...
