Abstract excerpt
We describe a novel statistical scoring method based on a computational geometry approach to predict the functional impact (transactivation activity) of missense mutations in the DNA-binding domain (DBD) of the tumor suppressor TP53, which is the most frequently mutated gene in human cancer. Residual scores (RS) for each residue were calculated to reflect differences in the compositional preferences of four...
