Electroconformational changes

Table I. Membrane-Related Electroconformational Change Candidates...

In contrast, pore models consider the pore-expanding forces that are parallel to the membrane and that arise from normal forces acting on pores as U is increased. Pore models can quantitatively account for both rupture and reversible electrical breakdown (REB) in planar membranes and reversible behavior in cells. For this reason, our discussion will emphasize localized electroconformational changes, particularly hydrophilic pores. The modeling of electroporation using such pores was first presented in an impressive series of seven back-to-back papers only the first paper is cited here (10).
