What is chemical genetics?
Chemical genetics are used to block specific functions of proteins as opposed to completely stopping all functions. This is done through the use of small chemical molecules. This can be used to find possible drug targets in the form of mutated protein function when targeting those afflicted with genetic diseases.
Are there any small chemical molecules that have an effect on COL5A1?
After looking through Chembank and PubChem, I could not find a small chemical molecule that would directly effect the COL5A1 gene product.
