Equations describe the [Ca2+]-dependencies of opening and closing rates associated with each site (refer to Scheme IV in Fig. 1 B). KA was derived from the theoretical half-maximal [Ca2+]C-activation of Po and was not used in the fitting of the model. The reaction rates are distinguished from model parameters with an apostrophe (e.g., α′). γ′, δ′, and θ′ depend on the Ca2+ current through the pore and therefore take on different values for the open and closed states (indicated by subscripts, o and c). In Eq. 2, T is the temperature in degrees K, k is the Boltzmann constant and V is bilayer voltage.
