ArtMemW/ARTMEM

ArtMem for Windows (ArtMemW) and its DOS version (ARTMEM) are teaching programs designed to simulate an experiment to illustrate how membrane potentials are set up across biological and other membranes. This is mainly achieved by students exploring the response of an artificial ion-selective membrane to changes in salt solution concentrations across it. It would be a good first introduction to membrane potentials, prior to using the MemPotW or MEMPOT program, which deals with membrane potentials of simulated excitable biological cells.
