2BIM, 2BIN, 2BIO, 2BIP, 2BIQ - PubMed Abstract: 
We have solved the crystal structures of three oncogenic mutants of the core domain of the human tumor suppressor p53. The mutations were introduced into a stabilized variant. The cancer hot spot mutation R273H simply removes an arginine involved in DNA binding without causing structural distortions in neighboring residues ...
