5-Methylindole | 8.6±2.0 | 1.1±0.2 | 59±4 |
6-Methylindole | 3.0±0.6 | 0.9±0.2 | 69±4 |

EC50 and Hill coefficient (nH) values were derived by fitting the data in Figure 5 and Figure S1 to a Hill equation (see Materials and Methods). Relative efficacies are the maximum values derived from fitting the data and are expressed as a percentage of the maximum value for indole. Values are the mean ± SEM derived from concentration-response data from 5–16 separate oocytes.
