Resolving hot spots in the C-terminal dimerization domain that determine the stability of the molecular chaperone Hsp90.

Human heat shock protein of 90 kDa (hHsp90) is a homodimer that has an essential role in facilitating malignant transformation at the molecular level. Inhibiting hHsp90 function is a validated approach for treating different types of tumors. Inhibiting the dimerization of hHsp90 via its C-terminal d...
