Normalized gating charge was plotted versus voltage, and data were fitted with the sum of two Boltzmann functions to obtain values for V1/2 and valence (z). Parameters for q1 component of gating charge: V1 and z1. Parameters for q2 component of gating charge: V2 and z2. Values are provided as mean ± SEM.

Significantly different from value obtained in the absence of Mg2+; P < 0.05 by ANOVA.
