Deskripsi

Tetrathiomolybdate (TM) and Cu-ATPases, e.g. Wilson (WLN) protein, affect the efficacy of common anticancer drug cisplatin. Here, the authors show that TM generates a protein dimer with a WLN domain by expelling copper and provide insight into the synergy of TM and cisplatin in cancer chemotherapy.
