摘要: We establish a new model for ionic waves along microtubules based on polyelectrolyte features of cylindrical biopolymers. The nonlinear transmission line described by differential equation is obtained with stable kink solution pertinent to the shape front accompanying potential. localized wave could be used explain behavior as biomolecular transistors capable amplifying electrical information in neurons.
