The ionic radii r are shown in Å (Hille, 2001). ITC: Kd values were obtained from a fit to a single binding isotherm (n = 3). ACMA: H+ flux is ranked from best (+++) to worst (−) for each ion. SSM: Km values obtained from the peak currents measured with SSM-based electrophysiology (n = 3 or 4). The decay times of the transient currents are indicated as τ, which were obtained from one-phase exponential decay fits (n = 3). nd, Not detectable. All errors are given as ±SEM.
