Table 3. Average single channel conductance, G, of the BesC channels in different salt solutions.
| Salt | Concentration, M | Average single channel conductance, pS |
| LiCl | 1 | 250 |
| KCl | 0.1 | 30 |
| KCl | 0.3 | 90 |
| KCl | 1 | 300 |
| KCl | 3 | 900 |

The membranes were formed from 1% diphytanoylphoshatidylcholine dissolved in n-decane. The pH of the aqueous salt solutions was 6 if not indicated otherwise. The single-channel conductance is given as the mean of at least 100 single events. The applied voltage was 20 mV and the temperature was 20°C.
