Orthophosphate increases the efficiency of slow muscle-myosin isoform in the presence of omecamtiv mecarbil
Omecamtiv mecarbil is a small molecule effector under clinical trial for the treatment of systolic heart failure. Here the authors define the molecular mechanisms of its inotropic action and find it can increase the efficiency of contraction in muscle fibres when the orthophosphate concentration ris...
