Time constants of activation/deactivation over voltages ranging from −240 to 230 mV, with nominally 0 Ca2+ and 0 µM NS11021 used to estimate parameters for Scheme 2, as described in Materials and methods. These were used as a base set of parameters to describe the time constants in the presence of 30 µM NS11021, by adjusting parameters corresponding to J0 (α, β), L0 (γ, δ), or D. These adjusted values are shown in bold. Thus, adjusting γ and δ yielded the lowest χ2 value among these three comparisons, although adjusting these parameters in combination yielded a statistically better fit. Time constants predicted by these parameters superimposed on experimental data are shown in Fig. 8. χ2 based on 41 experimental data points each for 0 and 30 µM NS11021.
