Concentration–response data (EC50) and Hill coefficient (nH) for ATP and a range of base-modified nucleoside triphosphate analogues (shown as mean ± SEM). Relative efficacy expressed as maximal current compared to that elicited by 1 mM of ATP and number of experiments (n) and are also shown (n/a: not applicable; ND, not determined). Significant differences were determined by one-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s test. ****, P < 0.0001.
