Abstract excerpt
The folding of membrane-spanning domains into their native functional forms depends on interactions between transmembrane (TM) helices joined by covalent loops. However, the importance of these covalent linker regions in mediating the strength of helix-helix associations has not been systematically addressed. Here we examine the potential structural impact of cystic fibrosis-phenotypic mutations in the...
