V37 Computational design complete. Peptide Validated.
The Fighter and the Cornerman: P53 and MDM2 are proteins that usually work together to kill cells if they turn cancerous. Think of P53 as the fighter and MDM2 as the cornerman. P53's knockout move is to send a correct yourself or wreck yourself command to cancerous cells. The cells either come correct (get healthy) or they die. P53 needs MDM2 the cornerman to tell him when the cancer is KO'ed and the round is over, otherwise p53 will keep on swinging and could start thumping healthy cells not just diseased ones. The Fighter/Cornerman relationship works. Usually.
But in half of all cancers, when Cancer comes out for the second round, it cheats.
Cancer: When a cell turns cancerous, it will sometimes (in nearly half of all cancers) trick MDM2 into doing something called overexpressing which has the effect of causing MDM2 to smother or restrict its own fighter. MDM2 overexpresses, restrains p53 and keeps it in the corner which means p53 cannot fight the fight and issue the correct or die KO commands to the diseased cells.
And so the cancer grows.
Undruggable for Decades: This p53-MDM2 interaction has been considered undruggable for three decades. This means it is practically impossible to engineer a drug that separates MDM2 from p53. In biological terms, the hydrophobic cleft on the MDM2 binding surface is too flat for normal drugs to work. The surfaces of the drug do not form high-affinity bonds which are needed as the teeth of the key to unlock it. Peptides (small molecules) have been tried but in thousands of tests, they just dissolve in the bloodstream before reaching the tumor.
Billions spent. Years of research. Thousands of tests conducted. Science has been looking for a key that is a 1 in 10,400,000,000,000,000,000,000 chance of being found. If there was a key to unlock MDM2 from p53 it was computationally impossible to find. So...
Molecular Math: We coded a key. By combining mathematical modelling, finetuning the model by vibrational synthesis and applying high school style physics principles, we designed a 1 in 10^24 molecular key with 100 percent structural determinism. That is a big claim and we know it, but in our Model we saw every atom placed with 100 percent mathematical certainty.
Validations: We went to independent third party platforms to check our math and validate.
Validation from these three heavyweights of biology meant that we believed the V37 molecule is structurally solid and that the drug will maintain its precise shape and stability when introduced into the turbulent environment of the human bloodstream.
Which meant, it was time for the WetLab.
If it works, cancer patients could have access to a treatment that releases their body's own natural tumor suppression system without the brutal effect of carpet bomb chemotherapy that kills all cells, both good and bad.
