Tumor Protein 53 Binding to DNA

Caption

Tumor protein p53, also known as p53, is a leading target for chemotherapies, so understanding how it works is critical for the design of new drugs. Researchers from the University of California, San Diego used Stampede2 to investigate how p53 binds to and interacts with DNA.
