TABLE 1.

Mechanical characteristics of exchanged fiber bundles

Mechanical characteristics of skinned mouse cardiac fiber bundles exchanged with human cTn-containing wild type (Tn WT), Ser-150-pseudophosphorylated cTnI (Tn S150D), Ser-23/24-pseudophosphorylated cTnI (Tn S23D/S24D), or combined Ser-23/24- and Ser-150-pseudophosphorylated cTnI (Tn S23D/S24D/S150D). Values are the mean ± S.E. Fmax, maximal tension development in mN/mm2; EC50, the Ca2+ concentration in μm at 50% maximal force; Hill, slope of the tension-Ca2+ plot; ΔEC50, the difference in the calcium concentration at 50% maximal force from 1.9 to 2.2 μm sarcomere length; n, number of fibers in each group.
