MDM2 is a negative regulator of p53. The N terminal domain of MDM2 interacts with a helical region of the transcriptional activation domain of p53. Stapled peptides have been designed to mimic this interaction, in order to inhibit p53-MDM2 binding and thereby activate the p53 response. Here, we stud...
