Recombinant SARS-CoV-2 3CL Protease
The 3CL protease (aka 3CLpro, Mpro or "Main" Protease) from the human SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus 2) is a C30-type cysteine protease. 3CLpro activity is required to process the viral polyprotein into functional, mature subunits, and there are 11 or more sites of cleavage, many containing the sequence LQ[S/A/G]; the protease cleaves c-terminal to the glutamine amino acid. Along with the CoV-2 Papain-Like Protease, 3CLpro presents an attractive target for therapeutic intervention for COVID-19. Because no human proteases with a similar cleavage specificity are known, inhibitors of 3CLpro are unlikely to cause mechanism-based toxicity.
