To obtain tail currents for measurement of deactivation rates, cells were held at −80 mV, and pulsed to +60 mV for 4 s followed by a 10-s pulse to a range of potentials from −50 to −100 mV in 10-mV steps. Exponential fits and one-way ANOVA statistical comparison were performed using GraphPad Prism.
