	Figure 2. (A) Ensemble averages of single-channel patch currents expressed as open probabilities at several voltages. Open probability is calculated by dividing the ensemble average current by the number of channels in the patch (single channel patches were used in most of the ensemble averages shown) and the measured unitary current amplitude. The voltages are indicated in the panel. Recording conditions were as described in Fig. 1. (B) Voltage dependence of the steady state open probability. Peak probabilities recorded from the ensemble averages are plotted against voltage. Data from several patches are shown. The smooth curve represents a fit to a Boltzmann function expressed by the following equation: where Pomax is the maximum open probability (0.7), V is membrane voltage, V1/2 is the voltage where the Boltzmann distribution is equal to 0.5 (−143 mV), z is the equivalent charge movement associated with the Boltzmann distribution (1.36 electronic charges), F is Faraday's constant, R is the universal gas constant, and T is the absolute temperature. The dotted line represents the Boltzmann fit to the macroscopic G(V) relationship (Zei, 1998). The macroscopic G(V) fit has been scaled to the maximum single channel open probability, Pomax.
	Figure 3. (A) Cumulative distributions of first latencies recorded at several voltages. The distributions show the probabilities that the channel first opened by the times indicated. The openings were elicited in response to 1,000-ms pulses from a prepulse potential of −40 mV. (Bottom) The cumulative first latency distributions have been scaled to a probability of 1 to compare their time courses. (B) Median first latencies measured from the distributions in A and several additional patches are plotted as a function of pulse potential. Several different patches are represented among the data points. (C) The cumulative first latency distributions are superimposed on the ensemble averages from the same patch at each voltage indicated. The thin, relatively noisy lines represent the ensemble averages, and the thick, smoother lines represent the first latency distributions. The curves are scaled so that the steady state levels coincide.
	Figure 4. (A) The number of openings per sweep over an entire experiment are plotted contiguously at −110 and −140 mV. The x-axis indicates consecutive sweep number. The data represent two different patches. (B) The test parameter (Z) for runs analysis (see text) is plotted at several voltages. Only those experiments with a significant number of blank sweeps are shown. The dotted line represents a Z value of 1.6. Z values greater than or equal to 1.6 indicate statistically significant clustering of blank sweeps.

The tail currents have been reversed in polarity to facilitate fits using the model. The tail currents were scaled at their initial points to coincide with the steady state open probability predicted by the model for the activating potential used (−160 mV). The distributions of initial probabilities among the various states in Scheme SVIII were determined by fits of the model to the burst, ensemble average, and first latency data.
