Abstract

An ion channel in thermodynamic equilibrium is subject to the principle of detailed balance (microscopic reversibility). A violation of this principle would indicate the presence of an external energy source. Song and Magleby (1994) were the first to investigate the statistical methods to test for detailed balance and successfully applied this test to a four-state model in which the states are arranged in a circle.
