In this issue of Structure, Bista and colleagues report that inhibitors of the MDM2/p53 interaction can be designed to interact with a transiently folded α-helical segment of the MDM2 lid region. This suggests that targeting transient protein states in PPI inhibitor design could be a promising strategy to improve affinity and/or selectivity profiles.
在本期《结构》中,Bista 及其同事报告称,可以设计出与 MDM2 盖子区域的瞬态折叠α螺旋片段相互作用的 MDM2/p53 相互作用抑制剂。这表明,在 PPI 抑制剂设计中针对瞬态蛋白质状态可能是提高亲和力和/或选择性的有前途的策略。
