Figure 6.
ATP dependence of the relaxation rates. The rate constants of the fast relaxing component seen upon addition (▪) and withdrawal (○) of the indicated amount of ATP by rapid solution exchange are plotted against ATP concentration. Data represent the means ± SD of at least three independent measurements. All values are normalized to rates measured with 500 μM ATP in the respective experiment; i.e., giant patch. The average of these standard relaxation rates is 1.2 ± 0.4 s−1
for the current rise after ATP addition and 0.8 ± 0.4 s−1
for the current decay after ATP removal. Also included are two different fits to the rates upon ATP addition according to the equation (broken line):
