title: A diffusive model of the ball and chain inactivation.
abstract: The ball and chain mechanism is a widely accepted theory for the inactivation of the Shaker K(+)channel. In this paper we propose a diffusive model that predicts a rate of inactivation that is comparable to the experimental measurements.
