Abstract excerpt
Synthesis of a gene for an oncoprotein, ras p21 and its functions are described. Point mutations in hot spots of ras genes have been found in human cancer cells and produce activated p21 which result in transformation of cultured NIH3T3 cells. To produce normal and activated p21 in quantity for biochemical and structural studies, genes encoding these proteins were synthesized and expressed in E. coli. Normal and...
