From QuB

QuB is a software package for Markov analysis of single-molecule kinetics, especially ion channel records.

[Download] [Forums] [Manual]

With QuB's user-friendly graphical interfaces, you can simulate single-channel currents for any model calculate rate constants and voltage-dependence without fitting histograms detect current transitions in the presence of noise filter data, correct baseline, and select subintervals test all possible model topologies fit data to any function or system of ODEs (more...) New in QuB 1.5: Opens ABF and ABF2 files Solves for rate constants, stimulus dependence, unitary conductance and variance in multi-channel patches Extracts data from several files into one; can average congruent selections/lists from different files Windows Vista compatible
