Ca2+ dependence of IP3R channel modal behavior. (A) Channel open probability in various gating modes, (B) relative prevalence πM, and (C) mean lifetimes τM of the various modes (M can be L, I, or H). Symbols and curves represent the mean modal gating characteristics and theoretical fits, respectively. Symbols and curves for different modes are: triangles and solid lines, H; bullets and dashed lines, I; squares and dotted lines, L. Error bars in A–C are smaller than the symbols. The experimental data are taken from Ionescu et al. (2007) (supplemental text, section 1.10.2).
