Summary Introduction
To explain: The reason for the development of cancer because of mutations, which obstruct GTP hydrolysis ability of Ras proteins.
Introduction: Cancer can be defined as an abnormal cellular condition that is characterized by uncontrolled cell division. This condition can result from a large number of cellular, molecular, and
