Structural Comparative Modeling of Multi-Domain F508del CFTR.

Abstract excerpt

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a rare genetic disease caused by mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), an epithelial anion channel expressed in several vital organs. Absence of functional CFTR results in imbalanced osmotic equilibrium and subsequent mucus build up in the lungs-which increases the risk of infection and eventually causes death. CFTR is an ATP-binding cassette (ABC)...
