In-cell protease assay systems based on trans-localizing molecular beacon proteins using HCV protease as a model system.

This study describes a sensitive in-cell protease detection system that enables direct fluorescence detection of a target protease and its inhibition inside living cells. This live-cell imaging system provides a fluorescent molecular beacon protein comprised of an intracellular translocation signal...
