Protections a special protein provide,
\nProtein Fifty-Three is cancer’s bane.
\nA guardian angel with her wings spread wide.<\/p>\n
On your DNA, p53 sits astride,
\nAnd monitors your DNA for damages’ stain.
\nProtections a special protein provide.<\/p>\n
p53 prevents unhealthy cells to divide.
\nDNA breaks found, its replication p53 will constrain.
\nA guardian angel with her wings spread wide.<\/p>\n
Activation of DNA repair proteins p53 will then guide,
\nAnd they fix the breaks within the time domain.
\nProtections a special protein provide.<\/p>\n
If damage is irreparable, the whole cell p53 sets aside
\nBy activiating the apoptosis mechanism chain.
\nA guardian angel with her wings spread wide.<\/p>\n
Cancerous tumors p53 does not abide.
\nBe it through DNA repair or sick cells slain,
\nProtections a special protein provide.
