p53 P04637

A tumour-suppressor protein that helps a cell pause to repair its DNA — or self-destruct when the damage is too great. Its gene is mutated in a large fraction of human cancers, which is why it is one of the most-studied proteins in biology.

Honest about confidence

Every AlphaFold model is coloured by pLDDT, the model's own per-residue confidence — blue where it is very sure, orange where it is not. Prediction, not experiment. Open the viewer →
