Abstract excerpt
The tumor suppressor protein p53 is inactivated by mutation in about half of all human cancers. Most mutations are located in the DNA-binding domain of the protein. It is, therefore, important to understand the structure of p53 and how it responds to mutation, so as to predict the phenotypic response and cancer prognosis. In this review, we present recent structural and systematic functional data that elucidate...
