Abstract
The one dimensional Ising model and its variations have been successfully used to describe the statistical properties of polymers, such as polypeptides, DNA, etc. Recently one of us solved the hydrodynamic solution of Glauber’s time-dependent Ising model. This solution is suitable for describing kinetic processes of Ising systems. The recent data on the potassium–sodium exchange in human lymphocytes provide an ideal case for testing the theory. It was previously found that the intracellular K+ and Na+ concentrations vs extracellular K+ concentration follow the Ising isotherm. In this paper we show that the kinetic data of potassium uptake in potassium-depleted, sodium-loaded cells agree with the theoretical result.
