Peptides That Block RAS-p21 Protein-Induced Cell Transformation

This is a review of approaches to the design of peptides and small molecules that selectively block the oncogenic RAS-p21 protein in ras-induced cancers. Single amino acid substitutions in this protein, at critical positions such as at Gly 12 and Gln 61, cause the protein to become oncogenic. These...
