摘要
NMR analyses of variants of the p53 tumor suppressor protein that either contain or lack the C-terminus reveal that the C-terminus neither interacts with other regions of p53 nor has an impact on the conformation of the rest of the molecule. Nevertheless, the C-terminus is likely to be critical for regulation of p53 function.
