The p53 Team

This team of teachers is working to develop a curriculum module addressing the molecular consequences of cigarette smoking. The curriculum will focus on the carcinogens contained in cigarette smoke,...and the mechanism whereby they lead to an inactivation of the p53 protein. One component of this curriculum will be the creation of physical models of the DNA adducts and the p53 tumor supressor protein
