Indian Journal of Cancer. 2010 Apr-June; 47(2): 139-141.http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/144318Background : Cell adhesion plays a pivotal role in diverse biological processes that occur in oncogenesis. BRCA1 was the first breast cancer susceptibility gene to be successfully identified and cloned. The role of BRCA1 as a predictive marker of chemotherapy response in breast cancer is proposed. Ligand binding is an important factor in the success of chemoprevention. Materials and Methods : In this work, the author performed a ligand-binding prediction for BRCA1 using a new bioinformatics tool. Results : According to this study, 10 strong possible ligands were identified. Conclusion : These sites can be useful for further drug development studies.enBRCA1ligand bindingBRCA1 Protein --metabolismBreast Neoplasms --diagnosisBreast Neoplasms --metabolismComputational BiologyDrug DesignFemaleGene Expression Regulation, NeoplasticHumansPrognosisTumor Markers, Biological --metabolismArticle
