The table lists the different functions used to fit the QV curve and the values of the corresponding parameters derived from the fits to the QV curves of the Sh-IR W434F and NaV1.4 channels. V1/2 parameters have units in millivolts, and z parameters have units of electronic charges. The free energy changes calculated from each of the fits are also listed (kcal/mol).
A two-state model and the fitting function is a Boltzmann function.
A model where the channel activates in four independent single-step transitions; the fitting function is the fourth power of the Boltzmann function and
A model where the channel activates via two energetically independent steps; the fitting function is the sum of two Boltzmann terms and
A three-state model where the channel activates in two sequential steps;
The free energy change calculated via the median method of channel activation. The Qmax values for each channel was obtained from previously published literature (Schoppa et al., 1992; Hirschberg et al., 1995; Aggarwal and MacKinnon, 1996; Seoh et al., 1996).
