Model results compared to Iwasa and Adachi's (1997) experimental results
| Effective cell length (μm) | Probe stiffness (N/m) | End displacement (nm/mV) | Probe force (pN/mV) | Isometric force (pN/mV) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 41 | 0.0025 | 5.71 (6.16 ± 2.65) | 14 (15 ± 7) | 61 (91 ± 25) |
| 47 | 0.0028 | 6.13 (7.95 ± 1.95) | 17 (22 ± 5) | 61 (116 ± 31) |
| 46 | 0.0046 | 5.12 (6.75 ± 2.03) | 24 (31 ± 9) | 61 (104 ± 47) |
In the last three columns of this table, Iwasa and Adachi's (1997) results (their Table 1) are included in parentheses, whereas the model results are outside the parentheses. Effective cell length is the distance between the patch pipette (located above nucleus) and the cell's apical end. Our model results are in good agreement with experimental results.
