    Ion-channel-like behavior in lipid bilayer membranes at the melting transition

    It is well known that at the gel-liquid phase transition temperature a lipid bilayer membrane exhibits an increased ion permeability. We analyze the quantized currents in which the increased permeability presents itself. The open time histogram shows a "-3/2" power law which implies an open-closed transition rate that decreases like k(t)t1k(t) \propto t^{-1} as time evolves. We propose a "pore freezing" model to explain the observations. We discuss how this model also leads to the 1/fα1/f^{\alpha} noise that is commonly observed in currents across biological and artificial membranes.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure
