Abstract
Transport proteins mediating solute transfer across the plasma membrane constitute an important group of cell-surface proteins. There are several diseases resulting from mutations in these proteins that interfere with their transport function or trafficking, depending on the impact of the mutations on protein folding and structure. Recent advances in successful treatment of some of these diseases with small molecules which correct the mutations-induced folding and structural changes underline the need for detailed structural and biophysical characterization of membrane proteins.
