Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the human p53 tumor suppressor gene are prominently linked to sporadic cancers in breast, lung and other tissues. Recent research has shown that tobacco-associated cancer in the human lung is related to mutation of the p53 gene mediated by the carcinogen benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), and the mutations are targeted to DNA "hot spots" at specific codons. In order to gain insight into the relation between the...
