This three-volume textbook provides a wide-ranging reference source on ion channels for students, instructors, and researchers. Volume II covers the physiological role, structural components, gating mechanisms, biophysics, permeation, selectivity, regulation, and pharmacology in disease mechanisms.

Jie Zheng, PhD, is a professor at the University of California Davis School of Medicine, where he has served as a faculty member in the Department of Physiology and Membrane Biology since 2004. Dr. Zheng earned a bachelors degree in physiology and biophysics (1988) and a masters degree in biophysics (1991) at Peking University. He earned a PhD in physiology (1998) at Yale University, where he studied with Dr. Fredrick J. Sigworth on patch-clamp recording, single-channel analysis, and voltage-dependent activation mechanisms.
