a

The median ligand concentrations at very low and high voltages were approximated to the EC50 values of the ligand binding curves reported in Kusch et al. (2010).

b

The interaction energy between the ligand binding domain and the rest of the protein and CF is the correction factor (Eq. 31). The following limiting values were used in calculating CF: PO(Vmin, xmin) = 0.58; PO(Vmin, xmax) = 1; PO(Vmax, xmax) = PO(Vmax, xmin) = 0.

c

The interaction between the ligand binding domains is the pore domain calculated from the HCN channel model parameters proposed in Kusch et al. (2012; equal to RTln(E5/E1); Fig. 4 A).
