Abstract excerpt
Reduced stability of the tandem BRCT domains of human BReast CAncer 1 (BRCA1) due to missense mutations may be critical for loss of function in DNA repair and damage-induced checkpoint control. In the present thermal denaturation study of the BRCA1 BRCT region, high-precision differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy provide evidence for the existence of a denatured state...
