Dwell time analysis of the wild-type single channel showing the effect of membrane stretch force on different states

[Ca2+] Normalized dwell times of different states under 150-mmHg pressure (mean ± SD) No. of patches

Dwell times in different states under 150-mmHg pressure at two different [Ca2+] normalized to those without pressure (Fig. 2 B, top). Unity would indicate no change. As shown clearly, C1 is significantly reduced by pressure, whereas C2 and O are mildly affected. Note that the missed short C2 likely caused an overestimation of O.
