V equivalent is the shift required in the voltage to maintain the same Po of 0.5 after the indicated mutations in the presence of 10–100 μM Ca2+i for the high affinity sites and 10 mM Ca2+i or Mg2+i for the low affinity sites.

All sequence numbers are adjusted to the sequence with EMBL/GenBank/DDBJ accession no. L16912 (Butler et al., 1993) from Nucleotide in PubMed with the numbering starting at the second M (MDALI). The mutations that identify each site and identifying sequence are: The Ca2+ bowl is defined by Sequence I in the text. Various mutations in this region that greatly reduce Ca2+ sensitivity typically include one or more of the five consecutive aspartates (D897–901), such as D(897–901)N or D897–898 deleted, or the D895N which changes the D two residues before the string of aspartates. M513I identified by MRSFIK. D362A/D367A identified by DFLHKD. D81N identified by DEKEE. E399A identified by EFYQG.
