Reversal potential and conductance of VDAC1 open and αSyn-blocked states measured in different CaCl2 and KCl gradients. Reversal potential values are corrected for the liquid-junction potential. The ratios of anion to cation permeabilities, P−/P+, and currents, I−/I+ are calculated according to Eqs. (1–2) and (6), respectively, at 0 mV. Each data point is a mean ± S.E.. Number of independent experiments is shown in brackets. All conditions are as in Fig. 3.
