This peptide is amino acids 17 to 26 fragment of p53, the Mdm-2 binding domain of p53 known also as p53N. This sequence contains all of the residues that contact the binding domain of Mdm-2.
p53 tumor suppressor fragment (232-240) is a peptide with the sequence H2N-Lys-Tyr-Met-Cys-Asn-Ser-Ser-Cys-Met-OH, MW= 1066.3. p53 is a tumor suppressor protein that in humans is encoded by the TP53 gene. p53 is crucial in multicellular organisms, where i
