Abstract
In this work, a new modeling approach is presented to obtain a two-dimensional transport lattice of a biological cellular system for the calculation of the potential distribution throughout the system and investigation of the corresponding membrane electroporation. The presented model has been obtained by a modified bilayer model of the cell membrane. This modified membrane model allows for an effective inclusion of the shape of the cell membrane in the potential calculation. The results of the model have shown good agreement with the results of the well-known Schwan equation and COMSOL Multiphysics for the circular cell. The simulation results show that both membranes of a mitochondrion can be simultaneously electroporated by an alternating voltage source with frequencies between 1 MHz and 1 GHz.
期刊介绍:
BJ publishes original articles, letters, and perspectives on important problems in modern biophysics. The papers should be written so as to be of interest to a broad community of biophysicists. BJ welcomes experimental studies that employ quantitative physical approaches for the study of biological systems, including or spanning scales from molecule to whole organism. Experimental studies of a purely descriptive or phenomenological nature, with no theoretical or mechanistic underpinning, are not appropriate for publication in BJ. Theoretical studies should offer new insights into the understanding ofexperimental results or suggest new experimentally testable hypotheses. Articles reporting significant methodological or technological advances, which have potential to open new areas of biophysical investigation, are also suitable for publication in BJ. Papers describing improvements in accuracy or speed of existing methods or extra detail within methods described previously are not suitable for BJ.
