Further studies on membrane transport with time delay.
A theory of cell membrane transport with a time delay which predicts under certain conditions overshoot or oscillatory permeation (Ohshima and Kondo, Biophys. Chem. 33 (1989) 303), is extended with the introduction of a parameter expressing a fraction of solutes inside the cell interior that suffer time delay. It is found that criterion for oscillation depends strongly on this parameter. Results will also be presented for the case of an exponential-type distribution of the delay time.
