Table 2. Current blockades (ΔI) and kinetic constants (k) for double-Cys mutants.

Double-Cys αHL pores were examined with 10 μM to 24 μM SPAA at MEET concentrations from 7.5 mM to 22.5 mM. The buffer contained 10 mM Bis-tris propane, 2 M KCl, 100 μM EDTA, pH 8.0, at 20°C. The applied potential was -50 mV. The errors are the standard deviations of the means for 'n' experiments.
