Abstract excerpt
Two phenotypic missense mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) channel pore (L346P and R347P in transmembrane (TM) segment 6) involve gain of a proline residue, but only L346P represents a significant loss of segment hydropathy. We show here that, for synthetic peptides corresponding to sequences of CFTR TM6 segments, circular dichroism spectra of wild type and R347P TM6 in...
