Hello everybody.

I'm a biological anthropologist with a biophysics query.  I apologize in
advance if it's naive or incorrectly phrased.  Here it is:

I'd like to know the electric field strength in volts per square
centimeter produced in the neural membrane lipid bilayer by ion movement
through a gated channel.  If you could direct me to sources on this, it would
be even better. Many thanks.

Ron Wallace
