Exploring Protein Sequence Space Using Computationally Directed Recombination [PDF]
, 2006 Evolution has provided us with many protein sequences. However, these sequences represent a very small fraction of the possible sequences. In the laboratory, scientists have explored areas of sequence space not represented by natural proteins both to ...

Molecular mechanism of CCDC106 regulating the p53-Mdm2/MdmX signaling axis
Scientific Reports, 2023 The tumor suppressor p53 (p53) is regulated by murine double minute 2 (Mdm2) and its homologous MdmX in maintaining the basal level of p53. Overexpressed Mdm2/MdmX inhibits cellular p53 activity, which is highly relevant to cancer occurrence. Coiled-coil
