Kinetics of recovery from inactivation and deactivation analysis. (Aa) Representative current traces showing recovery from inactivation were obtained from WT-hERG and 1.6-µg A561V-transfected WT-hERG cells. (Ab) A portion of the voltage-clamp protocol. (B) Time constant (τ) values of recovery from inactivation for WT-hERG and 1.6-µg A561V-transfected WT-hERG cells. (C) Representative current recordings of deactivation in WT-hERG and 1.6-µg A561V-transfected WT-hERG cells. (D) Fast and (E) slow deactivation components of deactivation time constants (τ) as a function of test potential in WT-hERG and 1.6-µg A561V-transfected WT-hERG cells. *P<0.05, WT vs. A561V-transfected WT group. WT, wild-type; hERG, human ether-à-go-go-related gene; I, current; V, voltage.
