Abstract
Tumor suppressor p53 lacks conventional drug binding pockets that would facilitate rescue of cancer-driving mutations. In this issue, Chen etal. discover a new role for an old drug, arsenic trioxide, in binding and stabilizing p53. The arsenic atom binds in a conserved, cryptic site and reactivates multiple p53 mutants.
