Abstract excerpt
ClC chloride channels and transporters are important for chloride homeostasis in species from bacteria to human. Mutations in ClC proteins cause genetically inherited diseases, some of which are likely to involve folding defects. The ClC proteins present a challenging and unusual biological folding problem because they are large membrane proteins possessing a complex architecture, with many reentrant helices that...
