Modeling Microtubule Counterion Distributions and Conductivity Using the Poisson-Boltzmann Equation

Modeling Microtubule Counterion Distributions and Conductivity Using the Poisson-Boltzmann Equation

Microtubules are highly negatively charged proteins which have been shown to behave as bio-nanowires capable of conducting ionic currents. The electrical characteristics of microtubules are highly complicated and have been the subject of previous work; however, the impact of the ionic concentration...
