κ-PVIIA block of Shaker currents in symmetric and asymmetric ionic Rb+ or K+ solutions. Current records in response to IV protocols (VH = −100 mV, VP from −50 mV to +70 mV, every 20 mV) recorded with outside-out patch clamp experiments in symmetrical 115 mM KCl (top left), symmetrical 115 mM RbCl (top right), Kext/Rbint (bottom left), and Rbext/Kint (bottom right) before and after the addition to the bath of κ-PVIIA (concentration indicated in the figure). The reversal potential is +5 mV in symmetrical 115 mM KCl, +3 mV in symmetrical 115 mM RbCl, +4 mV in Kext/Rbint, and −5 mV in Rbext/Kint.
