Abstract excerpt
The most common cause of cystic fibrosis is misfolding of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein because of deletion of residue Phe-508 (DeltaF508). P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is an ideal model protein for studying how mutations disrupt folding of ATP-binding cassette proteins such as CFTR because specific chemical chaperones can be used to correct folding defects. Interactions between...
