TLDR
The first application of a photoinduced 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction to 'staple' a peptide dual inhibitor of the p53-Mdm2/Mdmx interactions showed enhanced cellular uptake along with modest in vivo activity.

The Future of Peptide‐based Drugs

TL;DR: The suite of currently used drugs can be divided into two categories - traditional'small molecule' drugs with typical molecular weights of 5000 Da that are not orally bioavailable and need to be delivered via injection as mentioned in this paper.

Structure-Based Design of Inhibitors of Protein-Protein Interactions: Mimicking Peptide Binding Epitopes

TL;DR: A new classification of peptidomimetics (classes A–D) is introduced that enables a clear assignment of available approaches for the structure-based design of PPI inhibitors through stabilizing or mimicking turns, β-sheets, and helices.

Dictionary of protein secondary structure: pattern recognition of hydrogen-bonded and geometrical features

TL;DR: A set of simple and physically motivated criteria for secondary structure, programmed as a pattern‐recognition process of hydrogen‐bonded and geometrical features extracted from x‐ray coordinates is developed.

p53, the Cellular Gatekeeper for Growth and Division

TL;DR: The author regrets the lack of citations for many important observations mentioned in the text, but their omission is made necessary by restrictions in the preparation of review manuscripts.

Structure of the MDM2 oncoprotein bound to the p53 tumor suppressor transactivation domain.

TL;DR: The crystal structure of the 109-residue amino-terminal domain of MDM2 bound to a 15-Residue transactivation domain peptide of p53 revealed that MDM 2 has a deep hydrophobic cleft on which the p53 peptide binds as an amphipathic α helix, supporting the hypothesis thatMDM2 inactivates p53 by concealing its transactivationdomain.

The p53-mdm-2 autoregulatory feedback loop

TL;DR: The mdm-2 gene is shown here to contain a p53 DNA-binding site and a genetically responsive element such that expression of the mdm -2 gene can be regulated by the level of wild-type p53 protein.

Structure of Bcl-xL-Bak peptide complex: recognition between regulators of apoptosis.

TL;DR: The structure and binding affinities of mutant Bak peptides indicate that the Bak peptide adopts an amphipathic α helix that interacts with Bcl-xL through hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions.
