TABLE 2

Alterations of the mid-voltage of activation (V0.5) derived from conductance-voltage (G-V) curves of DmNav1 and rNav1.4 induced by depressant toxins and their mutants

The V0.5 values are from the G-V curves presented in Fig. 5. Depressant toxin effect on rNav1.4 exhibit two components: a minor negative shift in the V0.5 of the entire channel population (upper number) and a stronger shift in the V0.5 of a fraction of the toxin-modified channel population (lower number), indicated by the numbers in parentheses. The data represent the mean ± S.E.M. of at least six independent experiments.
