A lesson for us all: the Hodgkin–Keynes long pore model of ion flux

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: We describe in detail Hodgkin and Keynes' investigation of the independence principle. It is our expectation that students and educators can benefit from following the thought processes applied by the authors as they navigated the complexities of experimental design and data analysis, culminating in development of a model whose elegant simplicity was convincing evidence of narrow membrane-bound pores, ion channels, that were the conduit for transmembrane ion movement.
