Bio-Lipid Nano Capacitors: Resonance with Helical Myeline Proteins

Abstract

The model of this work represents electrophysiological occurrences with a combination of some phospholipids such as POPC and galactocerebroside lipid bilayers as variable capacitors. The quantum effects of different thicknesses in the mixed membranes of GalC/POPC, Galc/ POPE, and Galc/DPPC have also explicitly been investigated. It is shown that quantum effects can appear in a small region of free spaces within the membrane thickness due to the number and type of lipid's layers. In the presence of external factors such as protein transmembrane and myelin proteins as a resistance, the forces can influence the state of the membrane, which results in a variable capacitance behavior. This allows introducing a capacitive susceptibility which can be resonating with the self-induction of helical coils in myelin proteins, the resonance of which is the main reason for various biological pulses.
