Abstract |
:
α-Helix-mediated protein-protein interactions (PPIs) are important targets in biological research and drug development. Peptides containing d-amino acid residues are attractive molecules for inhibiting α-helix-mediated PPIs because of their wide surface area and high protease resistance. In this study, a peptide library was constructed using a one-bead one-compound format designed to isolate left-handed α-helical peptides, which are promising molecules as inhibitors of α-helix-mediated PPIs. Screening of the library against an α-helix-mediated PPI between MDM2 and p53 yielded an inhibitor of the PPI. Design and screening of the library, and biochemical and spectroscopic studies of the discovered peptide are presented. |
