C-terminal substitution of MDM2 interacting peptides modulates binding affinity by distinctive mechanisms.

The complex between the proteins MDM2 and p53 is a promising drug target for cancer therapy. The residues 19-26 of p53 have been biochemically and structurally demonstrated to be a most critical region to maintain the association of MDM2 and p53. Variation of the amino acid sequence in this range ob...
