The equilibrium (Nernst) potentials at 22 °C, calculated using ion activities, were –50.6 mV for K+, and +46.2 mV for Cl–.
Means and SEs were calculated as described in detail in SI Materials and Methods. Therefore, the mean values of the permeability ratios in this table (columns 4 and 5) are different from the permeability ratios that could be calculated by applying the GHK equation to the mean reversal potentials (column 3).
