Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Many mutations in rhodopsin, including P23H, result in misfolding and mislocalization of the protein. It has been demonstrated that pharmacologic chaperones are effective in assisting the proper folding and targeting of P23H opsin. This study was designed to investigate a high-throughput screening strategy for identification of pharmacologic chaperones by using a combination of in silico, cell-based, and...
