A Small Chaperone Improves Folding and Routing of Rhodopsin Mutants Linked to Inherited Blindness

Summary: The autosomal dominant form of retinitis pigmentosa (adRP) is a blindness-causing conformational disease largely linked to mutations of rhodopsin. Molecular simulations coupled to the graph-based protein structure network (PSN) analysis and in vitro experiments were conducted to determine t...
