Myosin Modulator Aficamten Inhibits Force by Altering Myosin’s Biochemical Activity Without Changing Thick Filament Structure [PDF]
Summary: We investigated the effects of aficamten on cardiac muscle structure, biochemical activity, and contractile function. Aficamten does not structurally sequester myosin heads along the thick filament.
