Abstract

Many attempts have been made to associate physical systems with system biology. Most of them are showing very impressive analogs. However, in quantum mechanics, very limited data and knowledge are available regarding analogs. The ion movement is approximately constant in velocity since the time periods are so small and are negligible. In this study, I focused on a new aspect of ion channels using quantum mechanics. Suppose that the time required for the ion to cross a distance between two gates.
