Figure 6.
Fig. 6. The deduced mechanism of conductance is summarized. The low electron density for NH[3] may represent substitutional interchange or relative freedom of NH[3] within the hydrophobic channel. NH[3] normally undergoes rapid inversion. This may be impeded against the weak hydrogen bond C-H donors of imidazole.
