In the International System of Units, the derived unit of electrical conductance; the electric conductance in a body that has a resistance of one ohm. Symbol
Unit of conductance of a solution This value is the product of solution conductivity (L) in siemens/cm and the cell constant Kc/cm The conductance of a solution in siemens (S) is the reciprocal of its resistance in ohms Formerly known as the Mho ( ); reciprocal of (ohm)
a measurement of current conductance (often abbreviated "G") thru ion channels and is abbreviated "S" Is equal to the ratio of current (measured in amps) divided by voltage (measured in volts) (note: this comes from ohm's law) It also equals 1/R 1 picosiemen equals 10^-12 siemens and is convenient to use for ion channels For example, the ion channel gramicidin has a conductance of 30 pS for cations This is equalivant to 6 28 X 10^6 ions per second per applied volt of conductance of cations thru the pore when the concentration of cations is equal on both sides of the membrane
