SD of the PCF results was calculated using the following equation based on Eq. 4:

Δ γ_{H C N} = γ_{H C N} \cdot \sqrt{{(\frac{Δ B_{C N G}}{B_{C N G}})}^{2} + {(\frac{Δ P_{C N G}^{o}}{P_{C N G}^{o}})}^{2} + {(\frac{Δ γ_{C N G}}{γ_{C N G}})}^{2} + {(\frac{Δ B_{H C N}}{B_{H C N}})}^{2} + {(\frac{Δ P_{H C N}^{o}}{P_{H C N}^{o}})}^{2}},

where ΔB and ΔP represent the SD of the F-I slope and the open probability, respectively. Because the maximal open probability and the single-channel conductance of the CNG channel were directly derived from electrophysiology recordings, their contributions to the error should be minimal compared with the contributions by the slopes of the F-I plots and by the maximal open probability of HCN channels based on NSNA.
