Abstract excerpt
Missense mutations in p53 frequently occur at 'hotspot' amino acids which are highly conserved and represent regions of structural or functional importance. Using the p53 mutation database and the p53 DNA sequences for 11 species, we more precisely defined the relationships among conservation, mutation frequency and protein structure. We aligned the p53 sequences codon-by-codon and determined the degree of...
