“…However, the crystal structures of multiple ABC transporters including the p-glycoprotein have been www.intechopen.com solved (Locher et al, 2002;Dawson & Locher, 2006;Aller et al, 2009). Attempts to use these structures as bases for modeling full-length CFTR have provided new insights into the role of F508 residue in domain-domain interactions (Jordan et al, 2008;Loo et al, 2008;Serohijos et al, 2008a;Mornon et al, 2009). These studies, when backed up by biochemical analyses, are an excellent start point to probe F508 global conformational defects and their repair.…”
