Article Synopsis
- S100A1 is a protein that helps control calcium levels in heart and muscle cells by working with another protein called the ryanodine receptor (RyR).
- Scientists weren’t sure how S100A1 and RyR interact or how it competes with a different protein called calmodulin (CaM).
- New research shows that S100A1 helps RyR1 open up when there are very low levels of calcium, which helps muscles work better.
The detection of pathogens is critical for clinical diagnosis and public health surveillance. Detection is usually done with nucleic acid-based tests (NATs) and rapid antigen tests (e.g.

A largely neglected alternative approach is to use antibodies that recognize nucleic acids. The unique monoclonal antibody S9.
