TP53 Mutant Explanation
The viewer helps interpret the mutation present in p53 disorder. The correct amino acid for this protein at the exact amino acid position 273 is Arginine, and in the affected protein it is changed to Histidine. The initial view shows 2 monomers of the p53 protein and a molecule of DNA.
