Abstract excerpt
The mutant p21(ras) protein is a G protein produced by the point-mutated H-ras gene, and this mutant protein has been shown to cause carcinogenesis due to a reduction in its GTPase activity. However, the mechanism underlying this strange phenomenon has still not been elucidated. In our previous study, we have clarified the mechanism of the GTP-->GDP hydrolysis reaction in the wild-type p21(ras) at the atomic...
