Abstract

The kinetics of the alamethicine channel incorporated into BLM was studied using detrended fluctuation analysis and multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis. Detrended fluctuation analysis has shown that both the event series formed with dwell times on fixed channel conductivity levels and the event series formed with opened states on all channel conductivity levels are random processes. However, multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis indicated that only dwell times series on fixed channel conductivity levels are random, but the event series formed with opened states on all channel conductivity levels are the correlated multifractal processes.
