Commonly Used Abbreviations
| O1 | Open state O1 |
| C1, C2 | Closed states C1 and C2 |
| tC1, tC2 | Mean lifetimes of closed states C1 and C2 |
| E1, E2 | Exponential components E1 and E2 |
| τE1, τE2 | Time constants of exponential components E1 and E2 |
| aE1,aE2 | Areas of exponential components E1 and E2 |
| {C1} | Distribution of all closed intervals arising from all sojourns to C1 in the gating sequence: O1-C1-O1 (see Table II, gating sequence 0). This distribution is a single exponential. |
| {C1C2} | Distribution of all closed intervals arising from all possible sojourns through both C1 and C2 in the gating sequences: O1-C1-(C2-C1-)n-O1, for n = 1 to infinity (see Table II and Eq. 6). This distribution is 0 at zero time, rises with an inflection to a peak, and then decays exponentially at longer times. |
| τ{C1} | Time constant of the {C1} distribution, which is given by tC1 |
| τ{C1C2} | Time constant of the decaying phase of the {C1C2} distribution at long times |
| a{C1} | Area of {C1} |
| a{C1C2} | Area of {C1C2} |
