Thanks for your helpful ideas Gary. I incorporated them and made a new figure as well as other minor improvements. Bertil 9/25/08

Reviewer A:

The article is concise, clear, and complete. It is enviably lucid, and reads like a distillation of Hille's authoritative textbook. I have only very minor suggestions to consider: 1) In Figure 2, the P2X diagram has one subunit much smaller than the others, which I assume is not intentional. 2) The use of "tandem repeats" in Figure 2 is formally correct since "tandem" can mean more than two, but since it is used most commonly to mean two, maybe simply "repeated domains in a single protein" would be clearer. 3) The second and third sentences under "Ligand-gated ion channel families" seem meant to be connected into a single sentence. 4) The first instance of "Eion" should be "Eions" to match the equation that follows. 5) "Their use of the voltage clamp allowed Alan L. Hodgkin and Andrew F. Huxley…" might be preferable to "Their introduction…."
