Figure 6.
Ca2+ dependence of the conductance Hill energy in Scheme 4. WH[g] versus V is plotted for [Ca2+]i = 10−3 to 103 µM (step size = 1.59×). The dashed lines are the four (V,μ) asymptotes, given by WH[g]V(−)μ(−) = −ΔGL + ΔqLV, WH[g]V(+)μ(−) = −(ΔGL + 4ΔWD) + ΔqLV, WH[g]V(−)μ(+) = −(ΔGL + 4ΔWC) + ΔqLV, and WH[g]V(+)μ(+) = −(ΔGL + 4ΔWC + 4ΔWD) + ΔqLV. The height differences between the asymptotes are −4ΔWC (short solid arrows) and −4ΔWD (longer dotted arrows).
