Q 1d.
Table 1.3. Relative activity values of currents at different membrane potentials
(Vm) for wild type Channel D, the mutant form of the channel observed in Patient
X and the mutant channel in the presence of Compound A123. The holding
potential between voltage steps was -80mV.
Plot the relative activation curves for each of the three conditions described.
Explain briefly, giving reasons, what information these curves give about channel
activity. Discuss possible reasons for the differences in activation curve for each
condition.
