Effects of quinidine, disopyramide, and procainamide on the acetylcholine (ACh)-induced K+ channel current were examined in single atrial cells, using the tight-seal, whole-cell clamp technique. The pipette solution contained guanosine-5'-triphosphate (GTP) or guanosine-5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP-gamma S, a nonhydrolysable GTP analogue). In GTP-loaded cells, not only ACh but also adenosine ...
