Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the DNA-binding domain (DBD) of the p53 tumor suppressor are common in human cancers and frequently compromise its structural integrity or DNA-binding activity. Threonine 253 (Thr253) lies within the S9 aggregation-prone region, and multiple clinically reported substitutions at this position have been observed in patients with inherited cancer predisposition. However, the structural consequences of...
