32. The proposed mechanism of single-file transport in a finite channel between two bulk reservoirs is thus distinct from the traditional mechanism of single-file diffusion in (infinitely) long channels that requires the presence of one or more vacancies.
33. The (high concentration) KcsA channel example discussed here has n=3 ions. The derivation is the same for any n > 1.

36. The model assumptions concerning the differeing voltage dependencies of the association and dissociation steps can be justified by analogy with the Metropolis sampling technique, wherein negative energy transitions occur with unit probability, and positive energy transitions are weighted by a Boltzmann factor.

46. While the proposed translocation mechanism does not require the formation of long-lived voids within the channel, it does not preclude the formation of (short-lived) voids as part of the translocation process.
