SARS-CoV-2 Main Protease (Mpro) from Biosynth

The main protease (Mpro) is a key enzyme of SARS-CoV-2 and is required for viral replication and transcription.

A Biosynth Case Study

COVID-19, caused by SARS-CoV-2, currently lacks effective therapeutics. SARS-CoV-2 main protease (Mpro) represents an attractive drug target.

SARS-CoV-2 main protease Application Notes

Mpro activates the viral replicase by digesting replicase polyproteins at 11 conserved cleavage sites.

Cleavage occurs at the C-terminal end of glutamine in recognition sequences containing Leu-Gln-(Ser, Ala, Gly) motifs]. As SARS-CoV-2 Mpro has no closely related homologues in humans, it represents an attractive drug target. In addition, SARS-CoV-2 Mpro may be used for diagnostic purposes and for in vitro research on viral replication.
