Presented here is a protocol for designing and testing dipeptides that can inhibit Src kinase enzyme activity using acellular and cellular assays for anti-cancer applications. The peptides formulated here (W-RCH3, WCH3-RCH3, and W-R(CH3)2) inhibited Src kinase with IC50 values of 510 nM, 916 nM, and 1 µM, respectively.
