Variation in the mechanical unfolding pathway of p53DBD induced by interaction with p53 N-terminal region or DNA.

The tumor suppressor p53 plays a crucial role in the cell cycle checkpoints, DNA repair, and apoptosis. p53 consists of a natively unfolded N-terminal region (NTR), central DNA binding domain (DBD), C-terminal tetramerization domain, and regulatory region.
