Increasing SERCA pumping rate increases beating rate, as proposed in the coupled clocks theory. The largest effect is produced by increasing the Vmax of the pump (represented by the model variable Pup), whereas increasing the pump affinity (red) makes a relatively modest contribution, possibly because of saturation of SERCA near the membrane.
