Fluorogenic in vitro activity assay for the main protease Mpro from SARS-CoV-2 and its adaptation to the identification of inhibitors

Summary: This protocol describes an in vitro fluorogenic assay to measure the proteolytic activity and identify inhibitors of Mpro, the main protease produced by SARS-CoV-2 (Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2). Studies to identify potential inhibitors of Mpro mainly rely on in silico mo...
