You cant correct a very saturated red from a wide gamut monitor with just 
modifying the red curve to a less saturated red, say to match sRGB.

This colour transformation involves mixing in of some blue and green to 
reduce the saturation. Hence it is no longer one dimensional. 

You seems to be pretty interessted. Here some links and link collections:
