[NMR paper] Peptide-Directed Binding for the Discovery of Modulators of ?-Helix-Mediated Protein–Protein Interactions: Proof-of-Concept Studies with the Apoptosis Regulator Mcl-1
Peptide-Directed Binding for the Discovery of Modulators of ?-Helix-Mediated Protein–Protein Interactions: Proof-of-Concept Studies with the Apoptosis Regulator Mcl-1
Targeting PPIs with small molecules can be challenging owing to large, hydrophobic binding surfaces. Herein, we describe a strategy that exploits selective ?-helical PPIs, transferring these characteristics to small molecules. The proof of concept is demonstrated with the apoptosis regulator Mcl-1, commonly exploited by cancers to avoid cell death. Peptide-directed binding uses few synthetic transformations, requires the...

Abstract
Historically introduced by McConkey to explain the slow mutation rate of highly abundant proteins, protein weak (quinary) interactions are an emergent property of living cells. The protein complexes that result from quinary interactions are transient and thus difficult to study biochemically in vitro....
