Figure 8.

Schematic diagram showing the simplest completely-interconnected Markov kinetic model for three distinct gating modes. Each of the three modes (L, H, and I modes) consists of one closed (CM) and one open (OM) kinetic states, with state transition rates for channel opening (k oM) and closing (k cM) as tabulated. The three modes are completely interconnected through the closed kinetic states (CH, CI, and CL) with six mode transition rates (k HL, k HI, k IL, k IH, k LI, and k LH). Through stochastic simulation, these kinetic rates were used to generate virtual channel current records, which in turn were used to check the accuracy of the modal analysis algorithm.
