Abstract excerpt
A three-dimensional model has been calculated for the discoidin domain of retinoschisin (RS1), the protein involved in the X-linked juvenile retinoschisis. The model allows for a mapping of the pathological retinoschisis missense mutations and a rationale for the structural effects of an evolutionary conserved surface exposed triad (W122-R200-W163). Molecular dynamics simulations of the triad mutants models,...
