Comparisons of 19F NMR STD results as a function of saturation times in various regions of NaChBac. (A) The linker region (S129, ●; L150, ▪), (B) the extracellular surface region (S208, ▼; L179, ♦), (C) the selectivity filter region (T189, ▲), and the PHE residues () in the pore region (F224, F227) and other regions of NaChBac. The filled and open symbols represent data from −CF3 and −CF2 moieties of isoflurane, respectively. The STD (%) uncertainties were calculated from the signal/noise ratios in the 19F STD spectra. The solid lines represent the best fit of the experimental data by Eq. 1 (Methods). The fitting results are provided in Table 1.
