Abstract excerpt
Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease caused by mutations in the gene for the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein. In vitro experiments have demonstrated that 4-methyl-2-(5-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)phenol (VRT-532, 1) is able to partially restore the function of mutant CFTR proteins. To help elucidate the nature of the interactions between 1 and mutant CFTR, molecular probes based on...
