Abstract excerpt
The tumor suppressor gene p53 has been identified as the most frequent target of genetic alterations in human cancers. Cancer-related mutations in the human p53 protein tend to cluster in four of the five highly conserved domains of the protein, and, in particular, in the central region of domain IV from residues 241 to 253. Using conformational energy analysis based on ECEPP (Empirical Conformational Energies...
