Abstrakt: Experiments on selective properties of the flavomycoin channels in a lipid bilayer in the solution of KCl show that the permeability ratio PCl/PK decreased with KCl concentration. A mathematical model of ion transport is developed which provides a quantitative description of the observed nonmonotonic dependence of transmembrane potential at a zero current on the concentration of KCl. An increase in PK relative to PCl is due to the difference in location of the binding sites of K+ and Cl- in a channel. The binding sites of Cl- are closer to the channel mouth as compared with those of K+.
