a channel defined as Kinetic Scheme - state diagram and transition rates
A simple kinetic scheme channel, comprising a list of states (KSState), a list of transition rates between them (KSRate), and a conductance law (IVLaw). The channel can be treated either as single channel which evolves stochastically, or in the ensemble limit as deterministic conductance.
There may be more than one gating complex: if the states fall into separate groups with no transitions linking them, then these groups are assumed to represent independent serial gating complexes and the channel conductance is the product of the maximal conductance in the IVLaw with the product of the open fractions of the individual gating complexes.
See the dedicated user interface for information on how to construct KSChannel objects.
