SRLF single residue level frustration, NA not applicable, n.d. not determined

^a PC alterations of at least 1 standard deviation (σ) away from WT are noted; others are labeled as not significant (n.s.); data used ignored the C-terminus (see Methods)

^b Compared to a WT value of 2 transport events

^c Defined based on the K⁺ radial distribution functions (Fig. S4 and S5) at 6.9 Å from residues 94 and 200. Comparisons are to the WT value of 1.8

^d Using only the computational simulation data, we predict if the variants will impair potassium transport or not
