Abstract

Liver cancer can be primary (starting in the liver) or secondary (cancer that has spread from elsewhere to the liver, known as liver metastasis). Liver metastasis is more common than primary liver cancer. Despite great advances in molecular biology methods and treatments, liver cancer is still associated with a poor survival rate and a high death rate, and there is no cure. Many questions remain regarding the mechanisms of liver cancer occurrence and development as well as tumor reoccurrence after treatment. In this study, we assessed the protein structural features of 20 oncogenes and 20 anti-oncogenes via protein structure and dynamic analysis methods and 3D structural and systematic analyses of the structure–function relationships of proteins. Our aim was to provide new insights that may inform research on the development and treatment of liver cancer.
