A high-throughput microfluidic mechanoporation platform to enable intracellular delivery of cyclic peptides in cell-based assays
Cyclic peptides are poised to target historically difficult to drug intracellular protein–protein interactions, however, their general cell impermeability poses a challenge for characterizing function.
ReadStereoisomerism of stapled peptide inhibitors of the p53-Mdm2 interaction: an assessment of synthetic strategies and activity profiles
All-hydrocarbon, i, i+7 stapled peptide inhibitors of the p53-Mdm2 interaction have emerged as promising new leads for cancer therapy. Typical chemical synthesis via olefin metathesis results in the formation of both E- and Z-isomers, an observation that is rarely disclosed but may be of importance in targeting PPI.
