A protocol for identifying the binding sites of small molecules on the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein

Summary: We describe a protocol to identify the binding site(s) for a drug called ivacaftor that potentiates the CFTR chloride channel. We use photoaffinity probes—based on the structure of ivacaftor—to covalently modify the CFTR protein at the region that constitutes the drug binding site(s). We de...
