Abstract:
This study was carried out to predict the possible tertiary structure alterations of p53 protein after point mutation of p53 gene condon 282 in lung cancer cells based on the latest 3D structure analysis platform series of Phyre software. It was found that the p53 gene condon 282 mutation (Arg/Leu) may destabilize the H2 helix and DNA binding in the major groove by compromising the contacts of p53 protein with the beta-hairpin of DNA binding surface.
