Table 2.

EC50 values shown for the Cl/NO3 antiport assay, the NMDG-Cl assay alone, with gramicidin (Gra) and with oleic acid (OA), with the chloride selectivity (SG) and the factor of enhancement (FOA) included.

aaverage clog P values calculated using VCCLab62. bEC50 at 270 s, shown as carrier: lipid molar percent. cHill coefficient reveals the stoichiometry of the complex mediating transport. dEC50 from the NMDG-Cl assay, measuring H+/Cl symport. eEC50 in the presence of Gra, showing the total H+/Cl symport possible with no rate limiting H+/OH transport. Gra concentration has been optimised to 0.1 mol%. fEC50 in the presence of OA, showing changes in transport due to acceleration of the natural proton transport facilitated by fatty acids. OA concentration has been optimised to 2 mol%. gSG > 1 indicates Cl selectivity and is calculated by dividing EC50 in absence of Gra by EC50 (Gra). hFactor of enhancement in the overall H+/Cl cotransport rate is calculated by dividing EC50 in absence of Gra or OA by EC50 (OA). FOA > 1 suggests the receptor can assist the flip-flop of OA increasing pH dissipation. in.d. EC50 not determined by ISE due to poor solubility. jWeak transport ability where EC50 for Cl/NO3 by ISE is larger than 10 mol%, hence NMDG-Cl by HPTS assay not determined (n.d.).
