Abstract excerpt
The 3C-like protease (3CL(pro)) of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) plays key roles in viral replication and is an attractive target for anti-SARS drug discovery. In this report, a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based method was developed to assess the proteolytic activity of SARS-CoV 3CL(pro). Two internally quenched fluorogenic peptides, 1NC and 2NC, corresponding to the...
