Time constants of activation/deactivation over voltages ranging from −240 to 230 mV, with nominally 0 Ca²⁺ and 0 µM NS11021 used to estimate parameters for Scheme 2, as described in Materials and methods. These were used as a base set of parameters to describe the time constants in the presence of 30 µM NS11021, by adjusting parameters corresponding to J₀ (α, β), L₀ (γ, δ), or D. These adjusted values are shown in bold. Thus, adjusting γ and δ yielded the lowest χ² value among these three comparisons, although adjusting these parameters in combination yielded a statistically better fit. Time constants predicted by these parameters superimposed on experimental data are shown in Fig. 8. χ² based on 41 experimental data points each for 0 and 30 µM NS11021.
