1. The gating properties of the hyperpolarization‐activated cation current (I(f) or Ih) were investigated in single pacemaker cells dissociated from the rabbit sino‐atrial node. 2. The whole‐cell I(f) was recorded in the presence of different external cations. The inward I(f) was increased when external Na+ was replaced with K+, and was decreased in Li+ or Rb+ solution. In Tris+ and Cs+ solutions, the inward I(f) was negligible. The outward tail current recorded upon depolarization was largest in Li+ solution and smaller in a sequence of Na+, Tris+ and K+ solutions. In Rb+ and Cs+ solutions, only a small tail current was recorded. 3. The outward tail current had a ‘shoulder’ in Na+ solution, which was much delayed by replacing Na+ with Li+. In K+ solution, the decay of the tail current was much faster, and no obvious shoulder was recorded. The tail current was slowest in Li(+)‐rich and 0 mM K+ solution, and was progressively accelerated by adding K+ over the range from 0 to 3 mM. The tail current at 30 mM [K+]o showed only a small shoulder. A common binding site to modulate the I(f) deactivation was suggested for monovalent cations. 4. The shoulder of the I(f) tail became more evident as I(f) was activated to a larger extent either by prolonging the duration or by increasing the amplitude of the preceding hyperpolarization in both Na+ and Li+ solutions. 5. The I(f) was first activated by hyperpolarizing the membrane to ‐110 mV, and then deactivated by depolarization. The inward tail current at ‐50 mV showed a single exponential decay. At more positive potentials, the shoulder of the outward tail currents became more evident and the rate of the final decay was increased. 6. The time course of I(f) activation was well fitted with the sum of two exponential functions. Time constants of both components were not affected by the external cation (Na+, K+ or Li+) replacement. Likewise, the quasi‐steady state activation was conserved when external Na+ was replaced with Li+. 7. Two closed and three open states were assumed in a sequential state model of the I(f) channel. The cation effects were well simulated by assuming that the deactivation rate was selectively modulated. The flow of I(f) during the spontaneous action potential was calculated. The activation of I(f) started on repolarization to the maximum diastolic potential and reached a maximum in the middle of the diastolic period. Its peak amplitude was 14% of the net inward current during the diastolic period.
