Equilibrium potential across a cell`s membrane (the Nernst equation)
Formula
EX
equilibrium potential across a cell\'s membrane for X ion
Xout
extracellular concentration of X+ ion
Xin
intracellular concentration of X+ ion
Formula description
The Nernst equation can be considered a special case of the Goldman equation for only one ion.The first term, before the parenthesis, can be reduced to 61.5 mV for calculations at human body temperature (37 °C)
