Table 2.

Time constants for recovery from block calculated from the kinetic rates of binding and unbinding at rest compared with experimentally obtained values at −140 mV and 15°C

Experimental Values Calculated Values Reference
Ventricular cells, 40 μM 650 ± 170 820 ± 110
Atrial cells, 40 μM 707 ± 160 1,020 ± 110
HEK-293 stable cell line expressing SCN5A, 30 μM 660 ± 140 845 ± 110
HEK-293 cells expressing rNav1.4-WCW, 100 μM 560 ± 40 690 ± 90 29

Values are means ± SD (in ms). Rat (r)Nav1.4-WCW is the L435W/L437C/A438W mutant Na+ channel. See Table 1 for the kinetic rates of binding and unbinding at rest. HEK-293 cells, human embryonic kidney-293 cells.
