Abstract excerpt
The human nucleoside diphosphate (NDP) kinase A, product of the NME1 gene also named NM23-H1, is known as a metastasis suppressor protein. A naturally occurring variant, S120G, identified in neuroblastomas, possesses native three-dimensional structure and enzymatic activity but displays reduced conformational stability and a folding defect with the accumulation of a "molten globule" folding intermediate during...
