Parameters for pH 6.5 were the same as those for pH 7.4, unless otherwise indicated. Forward rates were calculated as α = αo*exp(zα*VF/RT), and reverse rates were calculated as­­ β = βo*exp(zβ*VF/RT). c reflects the cooperativity factor applied to the independent transitions. It was necessary to modify forward and backward rates between S2 and A states from those reported previously (Piper et al., 2003) to reproduce gating current properties during the longer durations used in the present study.
