The rate constants that control the voltage-dependent transitions (α1, β12, β2, γ, δ) are assumed to depend exponentially on membrane potential according to the relationships x(V) = x 0exp(z X eV/kT), where z x, is the corresponding equivalent electronic charges, e is the electronic charge, V is the membrane potential, k is Boltzmann constant, and T is the absolute temperature. The total gating charge per channel is 9 e0. The allosteric factor f is 0.42.
