Open times were calculated from standard exponential fits of distribution histograms (bin width = 1 ms for control and ZD7288; bin width = 0.5 ms for CsCl). Abbreviations: τ, time constant; A, area that τlong or τshort contributes to the exponential fit; r, correlation coefficient of exponential fit; n, number of patches; n.d., not determined. Voltages corrected for patch configuration. Significance was determined with unpaired t tests.
