TITLE CaGk : Calcium activated mAHP K channel. : From Moczydlowski and Latorre (1983) J. Gen. Physiol. 82 UNITS { (molar) = (1/liter) } UNITS { (mV) = (millivolt) (mA) = (milliamp) (mM) = (millimolar) } INDEPENDENT {t FROM 0 TO 1 WITH 100 (ms)} NEURON { SUFFIX mykca USEION ca READ cai USEION k READ ek WRITE ik RANGE gkbar, ik GLOBAL oinf, tau } UNITS { FARADAY = (faraday) (kilocoulombs) R = 8.313424 (joule/degC) } PARAMETER { v (mV) dt (ms) ek (mV) celsius = 20 (degC) gkbar = 0.01 (mho/cm2) : Maximum Permeability cai = 1e-3 (mM) d1 = 0.84 d2 = 1.0 k1 = 0.18 (mM) k2 = 0.011 (mM) bbar = 0.28 (/ms) abar = 0.48 (/ms) } COMMENT the preceding two numbers were switched on 8/19/92 in response to a bug report by Bartlett Mel. In the paper the kinetic scheme is C <-> CCa (K1) CCa <-> OCa (beta2,alpha2) OCa <-> OCa2 (K4) In this model abar = beta2 and bbar = alpha2 and K4 comes from d2 and k2 I was forcing things into a nomenclature where alpha is the rate from closed to open. Unfortunately I didn't switch the numbers. ENDCOMMENT ASSIGNED { ik (mA/cm2) oinf tau (ms) } STATE { o } : fraction of open channels BREAKPOINT { SOLVE state ik = gkbar*o*(v - ek) : potassium current induced by this channel } LOCAL fac :if state_cagk is called from hoc, garbage or segmentation violation will :result because range variables won't have correct pointer. This is because :only BREAKPOINT sets up the correct pointers to range variables.
