A structural genomics approach to investigate Dystrophin mutations and their impact on the molecular pathways of Duchenne muscular dystrophy by Abdelbaset Mohamed Elasbali, Farah Anjum, Osama A. AlKhamees, Waleed Abu Al-Soud, Mohd Adnan, Anas Shamsi, Md. Imtaiyaz Hassan

“…BackgroundDystrophin is a key protein encoded by the DMD gene, serves as a scaffold linking the cytoskeleton to the extracellular matrix that plays a critical role in muscle contraction, relaxation, and structural integrity. Mutations, particularly single-point amino acid substitutions, can lead to dysfunctional Dystrophin, causing muscular dystrophies, with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) being the most severe form.ObjectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the effects of 184 single-point amino acid substitutions on the structure and function of Dystrophin using computational approaches.MethodsMany computational tools were used to predict the impact of amino acid substitutions on protein stability, solubility, and function. …”
