Abstract excerpt
Point mutations in p53 favour tumour aggressivity, particularly in gastric cancer (GC), and offer a target for small molecule-based anticancer treatments. This study focused on the p53-Y220C mutation, which causes p53 misfolding due to thermal instability associated with the creation of a pocket that may accommodate small molecules. This mutation also creates an additional free cysteine thiol group that may react...
