Abstract excerpt
Although remarkable rescue has been achieved for treatment of Cystic Fibrosis (CF) by the combination of two correctors (VX-661, VX-445) and one potentiator (VX-770), the stability and trafficking defects induced by the most common mutation, F508del, are not completely reversed. Therefore, more effective CFTR correctors are still needed. We employed in silico and molecular modelling approaches to design and probe...
