Abstract excerpt
Advances in connecting phenotype to genotype have led to new insights regarding the basis of human disease. Many inherited diseases are now known to arise due to specific mutations within a gene that then lead to a protein product unable to assume a stable conformation within the cell. Cellular machineries serving as "quality control monitors" recognize and target such abnormally folded proteins for rapid...
