Abstract excerpt
Mutations in ClC channel proteins may cause serious functional changes and even diseases. The function of ClC proteins mainly manifests as Cl(-) transport, which is related to the binding free energies of chloride ions. Therefore, the influence of a mutation on ClC function can be studied by investigating the mutational effect on the binding free energies of chloride ions. The present study provides quantitative...
