Abstract excerpt
The tumor suppressor p53, a transcription factor, plays a critical role in many cellular processes, including DNA repair and apoptosis and cell cycle arrest. Missense mutations in the p53 have closely related to human cancer. R249S mutation at the p53 core DNA binding domain (DBD) is frequently observed in hepatocellular carcinoma. This mutation is away from the p53 DBD-DNA binding interface. However, how the...
