Arginine, a cationic amino acid is known to stabilize proteins under harsh conditions. It is widely used to stabilize protein aggregation, and to correct protein folding during protein production. Hence it would be a good therapeutic candidate for treating protein aggregation related diseases. Recent reports suggest, that the aggregation of tumor suppressor protein p53 is one of the leading causes of tumor progression. When mutated, p53 protein aggregates, loses its function leading to unwanted cell growth and ultimately results in tumor. Here in this study we focus on the inhibitory effects of polyarginine and its analogues polyornithine, canavanine, and citrulline on the inhibition of p53 mutant peptide aggre... More
