TABLE 1

Open dwell times and drug association rates kon

Open times were measured in the presence of a high concentration of the drug. The on-rate kon was calculated from eq. 2 at a drug concentration of 1 μM. Data were obtained from n = 1 to 4 different patches and several hundred to >1,000 events per condition.
