Blocking parameters were determined at internal 200 mM K+ and 50-mV holding voltage, with the indicated concentrations of monovalent cation in the external solution. Time constants and amplitudes were measured by fitting block-time histograms, and rate constants were derived therefrom. Parameters are reported as mean with SEM in parentheses of three to five single-channel datasets in separate bilayers. Dashes indicate components with negligible PDF amplitude, for which block-time PDF was single exponential. Underlined rate constants are mean values (SE in parentheses) determined by Bayesian analysis of four separate datasets for which no assumption about the value of z was made; those in bold refer to Bayesian analysis using prior distribution for z, as described in Appendix A.
