How fractals CHANGE the most
basic ways we analyze and
understand experimental data.

Fractal Approach
New viewpoint:
Analyze how a property, the effective kinetic
rate constant, keff, depends on the effective
time scale, teff, at which it is measured.
This Scaling Relationship:
We are using this to learn about the structure
and motions in the ion channel protein.

St. Petersburg Game (Niklaus Bernoulli)
Toss a coin. If it is heads win $2, if not, keep tossing it until it falls heads.
If this occurs on the N-th toss we win $2N.
With probability 2-N we win $2N.

Determining the PDFLiebovitch et al. 1999 Phys. Rev. E59:3312-3319.
Solution:Make ONE PDFFrom SEVERAL Histograms of DIFFERENT Bin Size
Choose ∆t = 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 … seconds
PDF(t) = N(t)Nt ∆t
N(t) = number in [t+∆t, t]
Nt = total number
∆t = bin size

Fractals CHANGE the most basic ways we analyze and understand experimental data.
Fractals
Measurements over many scales.
What is real is not one number, but how the measured
values change with the scale at which they are measured
(fractal dimension).
No Bell CurvesNo Moments
No mean ± s.e.m.
