For a variety of ion channels, Q 10 values are listed for the conductance, and for kinetic parameters reflecting gating transitions: activation, deactivation, and inactivation (in some cases block). Q 10 values not given in original references were calculated from Arrhenius activation energy values or other available data (see materials and methods).  

*

Values for single channel currents, which are not complicated by possible interactions between gating and conductance. Several measurements reflect block, rather than intrinsic gating: vvoltage-dependent Na+ block,
