Kinetic modeling of intracellular NMG+ binding can account for the observed slowing of IgOFF kinetics. (A) Schematic of the Markov model used to simulate gating currents. (B, left) Simulated gating currents with the depicted voltage protocols and a slowing factor θ of 9.4 as in the original ZHA model. (right) Normalized Q-V relationships calculated by integrating gating current for 11 ms after the depolarizing pulse (Qon/Qon(max)), repolarization (Qoff/Qon(max)), or hyperpolarization after 50 ms at 0 mV (Qoff/Qon(0 mV)). (C) Repeat of simulations in B, but with the removal of the slowing factor (θ = 1). (D) Repeat of simulations in B, but with the addition of 140 mM NMG+i. Error bars represent SEM.
