Nondenaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis to study the dissociation of the p53 MDM2/X complex by potentially anticancer compounds
A new analytical method to study the dissociation of the complexes between the oncosuppressor p53 and its negative modulators murine double-minute protein 2 (MDM2) or MDMX, is proposed. This technique is reliable to determine the dissociative power exerted by small molecules on the complex taking advantage of the appearance of migrating MDM2 or MDMX in a native polyacrylamide gel, when inhibitors are added to the complex mixture. Therefore, we propose this new approach to easily screen library of compounds, with potential pharmacological anticancer activity.
