Figure 7.
Charge loss at the OFF is pHEXT dependent. (A) Mean QON- and QOFF-V from individual experiments normalized with respect to QON,MAX at pH 7.4. Increasing pHEXT caused a larger loss of charge in QOFF (see Charge loss by R232H deprotonation for details). (B) QON,MAX values for individual experiments were normalized with respect to QMAX at pH 7.4 (QMAX,pH7.4), showing that the maximum QON net charge is independent of pHEXT. (C) pHEXT dependence of the V1/2 value of the QON. The slight shift of V1/2 by pHEXT is not significantly different (P < 0.05). (D) The pHEXT dependence of the apparent charge of the fitted Boltzmann distributions to the QON is not significant (P < 0.01). Error bars are SD.
