TABLE 1.

Antibiotic association (kon) and dissociation (koff) rate constants at low salt concentration

From single channel measurements for OmpC20 and OmpC33, conditions were: 200 mm KCl, 20 mm MES, pH 6, kon = ({No. of events/s}/3 × [c]), koff = (1/residence time), the flux J = (kon /2) × Δc with Δc = 2.5 mm. koncis is calculated from −100 mV (for cis addition) and kontrans is calculated from +100 mV (for trans addition).
