The ChannelKinetics Packages implement parts of "Relaxation and fluctuations of membrane currents that flow through drug-operated channels" by D. Colquhoun & A.G. Hawkes, Proc. R. Soc. Lond. B 199, 231-262 (1977). Assuming a discrete state, continuous time Markov model for the behavior of ligand-gated ion channels, and given the transition rate constants between these states, the time evolution of their occupancy can be computed. This occupancy is then used to predict observables like the mean transmembrane current and its coefficient of variation. ColquhounHawkes.m numerically integrates the occupancy equation, which allows for arbitrary transmitter concentration functions of time. ColquhounHawkesMC.m performs a Monte Carlo simulation of the channel state transitions. In order to be fast, it uses some C routines via MathLink.
