    Kinetic model of Glycine-A receptors
    ====================================

    This mod file does not include mechanisms for the release and time course
    of transmitter; it is to be used in conjunction with a sepearate mechanism
    to describe the release of transmitter and that provides the concentration
    of transmitter in the synaptic cleft (to be connected to pointer C here).

    Modified Paul Manis, UNC Chapel Hill, 2009
    Changed name, pointer name, kinetics are range variables, and kinetic values
    are estimated from VCN glycine receptors.

    This model does not have a desensitization state.
