Dwell-times were obtained from square-root versus logarithmic time plots (Fig. 4, B and C) best fitted to an exponential function with 3 components. Mean time constants (τ) were multiplied by corresponding weighing factor (see Supplemental Table S1, including P values), and the 3 products were summed to yield weighted mean open (τo) and closed (τc) times for different phosphorylation states: native control; dephosphorylated (alkaline phosphatase, Apase); and phosphorylation by added PKA and PKG following pretreatment with Apase. Sample sizes (n) are shown in parentheses.
