Fractal Behaviour of Mitochondrial Chloride Channels

Mitochondrial chloride channels are integral membrane proteins located in the inner membrane of mitochondria. These ion channels contribute to the mitochondrial membrane potential which is necessary to drive the production of "energy-containing" molecules - ATP. The method of ion channel reconstitution into artificial lipid membrane allows the measurement of ionic current flowing through a single ion channel. Analysis of single-channel current provides means for the insight into the conformational changes of the protein structure. We analysed the gating kinetics at different time scales. The transition from open (conductive) state into closed (non-conductive) state is characterized by a defined number of kinetic rate constants. In the contrary, the transition from closed to open state is better described with continuum set of kinetic rate constants, which is typical for fractal behaviour.
