Abstract excerpt
Onconasetrade mark, a homolog of bovine pancreatic ribonuclease A (RNase A) with high conformational stability, is cytotoxic and has efficacy as a cancer chemotherapeutic agent. Unlike wild-type RNase A, the G88R variant is toxic to cancer cells. Here, variants in which disulfide bonds were removed from or added to G88R RNase A were used to probe the relationship between conformational stability and cytotoxicity...
