Abstract

Throwing tumors a left-hook punch: The oncoprotein MDM2 negatively regulates the activity and stability of the tumor suppressor protein p53, and is an important molecular target for anticancer therapy. Mirror-image phage display identified a high-affinity D-peptide ligand of MDM2 (see structure) that could be developed into a potent and protease-resistant p53 activator with potential antitumor activity.
