a

Rate constant of recovery from block of ternary complex, peptide•TTX•NaV1.2, when both peptide and TTX were simultaneously washed out.

b

Binary complex values from Table 1, reproduced here for ready comparison with ternary complex values.

c

Calculated assuming bimolecular reaction kinetics (kon = (kobs − koff)/[TTX]) and TTX dissociated from the ternary peptide•TTX•NaV complex with a rate constant no larger than the koff of peptide•TTX•NaV (i.e., 5th column in table). Rationale for this assumption is that if during the washout of both toxins TTX dissociated from the complex before peptide did, then a rapid recovery of rINa would be expected, followed by the slower recovery from block by peptide alone; instead, the recovery from block followed essentially a single exponential time course (see Figs. 4C & D). For the most part, the koff value for a given ternary peptide•TTX•NaV complex was either larger or approximately equal to the koff value for the corresponding binary peptide•NaV complex (compare columns 4 and 5).

d

Upper limit of kon obtained by assuming TTX could not dissociate from the ternary complex, in which case estimated kon = kobs/[TTX]. Note, both kon estimates gave similar values.

e

Negative value for estimated kon suggests koff of recovery from block of the ternary complex is a gross overestimate of koff of TTX in this instance.

f

Lower concentration than elsewhere was used because of larger relative kobs.

g

Data from ref. (18).

h

Obtained from slope of kobs versus [ligand] plot.
