Oncogenic mutations and packing defects in protein structure.

Abstract excerpt

Oncogenic mutations in expressed proteins are of primary interest to understand tumor formation but their structural consequences bearing on protein function are not clearly understood. In this contribution I report on two illustrative examples, p21ras and p57, revealing that such mutations have an effect on specific structural deficiencies in the packing of the protein structure, i. e., on backbone hydrogen...
