Average cluster properties. Solid lines are Gaussians fitted only to the indicated range of bins. (left) The average desensitization rate constant (τ_c P _o)⁻¹ of the main population is 4.6 s⁻¹. (right) The average cluster frequency of the main population is 0.078 s⁻¹. This value divided by the number of channels in the patch (∼10) is an estimate of the rate constant for recovery from desensitization for diliganded AChR (53 patches; 2–1,000 μM ACh).
