Mean inward conductances and SEM were calculated from overlapping 50 ns windows from fivefold replicated 250 ns simulations. Permeation of monocationic Ca2+ or Na+ cations was simulated in a solution of 150 mM CaCl2 or 150 mM NaCl, respectively. Permeation of a dicationic mixture of Ca2+ and Na+ cations was investigated in a solution of 75 mM CaCl2 and 75 mM NaCl.
