The extremely slow rise times observed for Y152A receptors may indicate a change in rate constants preceding channel opening.
Identification of interacting amino acids and their location in the tertiary structure of the receptor may provide clues to the mechanism of channel opening.
Such characteristics include the latency of channel opening, the electrical conductance of the ion pore, the activation voltage, and the activation duration.
In amphibian oocytes, β subunits increase the coupling between charge movements and channel opening [ 34, 35].
The dynamics of the recovery variable can be approximated by a first-order linear differential equation for the probability of channel opening.
The Na+ channel opening is followed by inactivation.
Because of close proximity to the channel opening, it is suspected that Ca binding affinty can be relatively low.
The channel opening was flanked by the wharf still piled high with bales and boxes.
Murphy's communication block bleeped to acknowledge a Local channel opening.
Ralph's communications block announced a channel opening.
