Cancer: Pinning a change on p53
Kevin M. Ryan & Karen H. Vousden
Abstract
An enzyme-induced conformational change is now implicated in activating the p53 protein, one of a cell's prime movers in preventing tumour development.
One in three of us will succumb to cancer at some point in our lives. So it's not surprising that p53, a protein that helps to prevent the development of malignancies, is the subject of intense scrutiny.
