Throwing tumors a left‐hook punch : The oncoprotein MDM2 negatively regulates the activity and stability of the tumor suppressor protein p53, and is an important molecular target for anticancer therapy. Mirror‐image phage display identified a high‐affinity D ‐peptide ligand of MDM2 (see structure) that could be developed into a potent and protease‐resistant p53 activator with potential antitumor activity.
