Abstract excerpt
Polar side chains constitute over 20% of residues in the transmembrane (TM) helices of membrane proteins, where they may serve as hydrogen bond interaction sites for phenotypic polar mutations that arise in membrane protein-related diseases. To systematically explore the structural consequences of H-bonds between TM helices, we focused on TM4 of the cystic fibrosis conductance regulator (CFTR) and its cystic...
