A note on single-channel autocorrelation functions.
It is shown for time-reversible ion channel gating mechanisms that the sojourn time autocorrelation functions are necessarily nonnegative, decreasing, and convex. It is also shown, again for time-reversible mechanisms, that the lagged moments of all orders are determined by the first three moments. The application of these results to the statistical analysis of single-channel kinetics is briefly discussed.
