General notes
Notes present in ChannelML file
ChannelML file containing a single Channel description

Unit system of ChannelML file
This can be either SI Units or Physiological Units (milliseconds, centimeters, millivolts, etc.)
Physiological Units

Ions involved in this channel:

Ion: k
One of the ions involved in this channel. Note that the reversal potential used here is a typical value, it should be determined for each cell type based on ionic concentrations
Charge: 1
Default reversal potential: -77.0 mV

Channel: KChannel

NameKChannel
Status
Status of element in file
Deprecated. File may still work but a new form of some elements is preferred!
Comment: This form of ChannelML (with ohmic and hh_gate elements) should no longer be used. See KChannel_HH.xml instead.

Current voltage relationship
Note: only ohmic and integrate_and_fire current voltage relationships are supported in current specification
Ohmic
Ion involved in channel
The ion which is actually flowing through the channel and its default reversal potential. Note that the reversal potential will depend on the internal and external concentrations of the ion at the segment on which the channel is placed.
k (default Ek = -77.0 mV)
Default maximum conductance density
Note that the conductance density of the channel will be set when it is placed on the cell.
Gmax = 36 mS cm-2
Conductance expression
Expression giving the actual conductance as a function of time and voltage
Gk(v,t) = Gmax * n(v,t) 4
Current due to channel
Ionic current through the channel
Ik(v,t) = Gk(v,t) * (v - Ek)

Implementation Preferences

Information is provided to help produce the best implementation of the channel mechanism. Due to some parameters in the channel mechanism the default values used in the simulator mappings may not be sufficient, e.g. if the rate equations change rapidly, but the default table size isn't large enough.

Settings for rate equation tables
Recommended settings if a table of values is used to speed up calculation of the rate equation values.
Number of table divisions: 400
Maximum voltage for tables: 100 mV
Minimum voltage for tables: -100 mV
