Abstract

The invention relates to a method of screening and identifying modulators of the protein interaction between new peptides and anti-apoptotic members of the Bcl-2 protein family. The modulators identified on the basis of this method are administered to patients with cancer in order to bring about apoptotic-type and/or autophagic-type programmed cell death in those patients.
