“…Unfortunately, there are no pharmacological compounds that just target TnC (31). However, by directly engineering TnC, our laboratory has developed several TnC constructs, which behave as Ca 2ϩ sensitizers or desensitizers in biochemical model systems and in muscle (16,32,33). By utilizing different design principles (32,33), the intrinsic Ca 2ϩ binding properties of TnC can be finely or grossly tuned.…”
