The percent conductance change (combining both cis and trans MTS effects) is given as mean ± SD, with n being the number of single-channel reactions that were used in calculating each value. Likewise, the waiting times to reaction (adjusted to reflect a 1-mM MTS concentration) are given as τ ± στ. Although we do not make use of the second-order rate constant, k = 1/(τ × 1 mM), obtained from single-channel experiments, its value is given for comparison with values in the other tables. For the most part, τ and στ are approximately equal, as expected for exponentially distributed waiting times. The interested reader can estimate the SD of k as the value of k given in the table times n/[(n − 1)(n − 2)1/2], based on the assumption that the waiting times are exponentially distributed and hence the reciprocal of a sum of waiting times follows an inverse-gamma distribution (Johnson et al., 1994; Schraiber et al., 2013). The percent conductance change and waiting time could not always both be determined for a given reaction event, so the n values for the cis- and trans-side waiting times do not necessarily add up to the n value given for the conductance change. The concentrations of MTS-glucose and MTS-ACE were in the range 30 µM to 1 mM and 1 to 2 mM, respectively. NE, no effect.

For T301C with trans MTS-glucose, of three channels observed, only one reacted, apparently while in a long-lived closed state, after 8–11 min. The channels that did not react were exposed to 1 mM MTS-glucose for about 10 min each.
