BH3 domain mimetics based on the small protein scyllatoxin (ScTx) were designed to target the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl2 in vitro. Intrinsically disordered ScTx variants were found to bind Bcl2 with nanomolar affinity, indicating that an induced fit binding mechanism is required for favorable BH3 : Bcl2 interaction.
