A counterintuitive approach to treat enzyme deficiencies: use of enzyme inhibitors for restoring mutant enzyme activity.

Abstract excerpt

Pharmacological chaperone therapy is an emerging counterintuitive approach to treat protein deficiencies resulting from mutations causing misfolded protein conformations. Active-site-specific chaperones (ASSCs) are enzyme active-site directed small molecule pharmacological chaperones that act as a folding template to assist protein folding of mutant proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). As a result,...
