Before revision: A new quantized ion channel model, called five-anchor model, is proposed based on a simple hypothesis of the first principle of the protein beam in the ion channel : the polarity of the protein beam can be changed by electron transition. With this model , many unique properties and behaviors of ion channels can be explained, including the real physical working mechanism of optogenetics, the refractory period in activation of action potential, the stochastic gating pattern of single ion channel and the nerve conductance block .
