Abstract
A method of enhancing p53 activity of a p53 mutant polypeptide is provided. The method includes interacting a compound to an open L1/S3 binding site of the p53 mutant polypeptide, where the p53 activity of the p53 mutant polypeptide is enhanced in the presence of the compound. Compounds were identified from databases of compounds for virtual drug screening. Methods of screening for compounds that enhance p53 activity by binding to the open L1/S3 binding site, and methods of treatment using the identified compounds, are also provided.
