Abstract excerpt
The p53 protein is a cornerstone of tumor suppression, yet its functional integrity is frequently compromised by mutations in the DNA-binding domain (DBD). While R273H is conventionally classified as a DNA-contact mutation, recent evidence suggests it may harbor latent structural effects. In this study, we employed enhanced-sampling replica exchange molecular dynamics to delineate the structural-thermodynamic...
