166 Benoft RouxThis chapter demonstrates that modern computational methods and <strong>molecular</strong>dynamics techniques provide powerful tools to study ion transport <strong>in</strong> complexbiological systems. Already, macro<strong>molecular</strong> <strong>model<strong>in</strong>g</strong> with atomic models is <strong>in</strong>creas<strong>in</strong>glyused, <strong>in</strong> comb<strong>in</strong>ation with experimental studies, <strong>in</strong> the rational design andsynthesis of artificial channels [104- 1061. As their three-dimensional structures willbecome available, it is hoped that the theoretical methods outl<strong>in</strong>ed <strong>in</strong> this chapterwill provide a “roadmapyy <strong>in</strong> study<strong>in</strong>g the function of biological channels.AcknowledgementsThe support of the Medical Research Council fo Canada is gratefully acknowledged.References[l] Hille, B., Ionic Channels of Excitable Membranes, S<strong>in</strong>auer, Sunderland, MA, 1984.[2] Parsegian, A., Nature 1969, 221, 844-846.[3] Neher, E., Sackmann, B., Sci.
