The past 40 years have witnessed extensive research on fractal structure and scale-free
dynamics in the brain. Although considerable progress has been made, a comprehensive …

In the 1970s, calcium-activated potassium currents were recorded for the first time. In
10years, this Ca2+-activated potassium channel was identified in rat skeletal muscle …

The Hurst effect in the signals describing ion channels' activity has been known for many
years. This effect is present in the experimental recordings of single-channel currents, but …

Ion channels are transport proteins present in the lipid bilayers of biological membranes.
They are involved in many physiological processes, such as the generation of nerve …

The kinetics of an ion channel are classically understood as a random process. However,
studies have shown that in complex ion channels, formed by multiple subunits, this process …

The patch-clamp technique is a powerful tool that allows for a long observation of transport
protein activity in real time. Experimental traces of single-channel currents can be …

Mitochondrial large-conductance voltage-and C a 2+-activated potassium channels
(mitoBK) exhibit substantial similarities in their physiology regardless of the channel's …

In this paper, the multifractal properties of the ion current time series in the fast-activating
vacuolar (FV) channels of Beta vulgaris L. taproot cells were investigated. These channels …

Over the years, the (multi) fractal nature of signals describing the activity of ion channels has
been observed both at the level of single-channel currents and the temporal scaling of the …
