Abstract

The gating of voltage dependent anion channel (VDAC) depends on the movement of voltage sensors in the transmembrane region, but the actual mechanism is still not well understood. With a view to understand the phenomenon we have analyzed the current recordings of VDAC in lipid bilayer membrane (BLM) and found that the data show self-similarity and fractal characteristics. We look for the microscopic and molecular basis of fractal behavior of gating of VDAC. A model describing the oscillatory dynamics of voltage sensors of VDAC in the transmembrane region under applied potential has been proposed which gives rise to the aforesaid fractal behavior.
