Ion Channel Biological ion channels seem to be a precondition for all living matter. Nervous system (0:50) Action Potentials (3:24) Potassium Channel (1:42) K+ radius: 0.133 nm, Na+ radius: 0.095 nm (0.133-0.095)/0.133 = 28.6%
A. L. Hodgkin & A. Huxley (Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 1963) for their discoveries concerning " the ionic mechanisms in the nerve cell membrane ". E. Neher & B. Sakmann (Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 1991) for their discoveries concerning "the function of single ion channels in cells". Hodgkin–Huxley Model on Ion Channel P. Agre & R. MacKinnon (Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2003) for their discoveries concerning "channels in cell membranes".
Ion Channel Ion channels regulate the flow of ions across the membrane in all cells. (Ionsin water are the liquid of Life.) Figures from Bob Eisenberg

Steric Effects Steric effects arise from the fact that each atom within a molecule occupies a certain amount of space. (Wiki) 7
