Finding a tumor suppressor's groove
The tumor suppressor protein called adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) is a central genetic risk factor for colorectal cancer. In fact, mutations that potentially alter the structure or function of this protein are found in an estimated 85% of human colorectal tumors, which are currently the third highest-ranked cause of cancer-related death worldwide....
