摘要
Many attempts have been made to associate physical systems with system biology. Most of them are showing very impressive analogs. However, in quantum me-chanics, 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.
