Insights into the Effect of the G245S Single Point Mutation on the Structure of p53 and the Binding of the Protein to DNA

The transcription factor p53 is a potent tumor suppressor dubbed as the “guardian of the genome” because of its ability to orchestrate protective biological outputs in response to a variety of oncogenic stresses. Mutation and thus inactivation of p53 can be found in 50% of human tumors. The majority...
