    Abstract Recently, in a paper entitled "Protonic conductor: Better understanding [sic] neural resting and action potential," Lee applied his Transmembrane Electrostatically-Localized Protons (TELP) hypothesis to neuronal signaling. He stated that Hodgkin's cable theory "could not fully explain the different conductive patterns in unmyelinated and myelinated nerves," whereas his TELP hypothesis "enables much better understanding of neural resting/action potential and [the biological significance of] axon myelination…" However, Lee's TELP hypothesis predicts that under resting conditions, the neuron "accumulat[es] excess negative charge (anions) inside," whereas resting chloride gradients actually feature excess Cl

    Abstract Recently in this Journal, James Lee employed his transmembrane electrostatically localized proton (TELP) hypothesis and the notion of a transient protonic capacitor to explain the force holding protons at the surface of bacteriorhodopsin purple membrane fragments. Here we show that purple membrane fragments cannot maintain the requisite transient non-zero transmembrane potential, and even if they could, it would not support the surface proton current moving from the P side to the N side that was reported by Heberle et al. (Nature, 1994). Currently accepted models explain the force keeping protons at the membrane surface by invoking the unusual structure of water at the interface which serves to stabilize the proton (energy well) and/or raise the activation ∆G‡ (energy barrier) for release to the bulk phase. Any future invocations of TELP should be required to include experimental measurements carried out at the surfaces of lipid bilayer membranes and/or biological membranes.

    Abstract In his Transmembrane Electrostatically Localized Proton hypothesis (TELP), James W. Lee has modeled the bioenergetic membrane as a simple capacitor. According to this model, the surface concentration of protons is completely independent of proton concentration in the bulk phase, and is linearly proportional to the transmembrane potential. Such a proportionality runs counter to the results of experimental measurements, molecular dynamics simulations, and electrostatics calculations. We show that the TELP model dramatically overestimates the surface concentration of protons, and we discuss the electrostatic reasons why a simple capacitor is not an appropriate model for the bioenergetic membrane.

    Abstract The Hill equation, which models the cooperative ligand-receptor binding equilibrium, turns out to be useful in modeling the progression of infectious disease outbreaks such as CoViD-19. The equation fits well the data for total and daily case numbers, allows tentative predictions for the half-point and end point of the epidemic, and presents a mathematical characterization of how social interventions "flatten the curve" of the disease progression.
