  • Abstract
    This paper presents the simulations results of some biological nanostructures. A first class refers to the electrical transmembranar voltage simulation with a software borrowed from microelectronics devices. The property of insulator is proved for the lipidic bilayer. The membrane contains ion channels with ~2 nm width. Through these nano-pores the water molecules cross in/out of cell. The flow properties in these nano-channels are impossible to be experimentally investigated. Simulations of nanofluidics present the velocity distribution, the vorticity and the laminar flow inside the inner layer.
