摘要:
This invention relates to a DNA molecule or a functional derivative thereof coding for a fusion protein, the fusion protein comprising an enzymatically active component and a non-enzymatically active polypeptide component which may be cleaved therefrom, an expression system which contains the DNA molecule, the use thereof as a test system for inhibitors of viral proteases, and an assay for identifying viral inhibitors.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method of characterizing viruses and the use thereof for classification. According to the invention, a cDNA copy of a first virus is made and the cDNA is amplified and cleaved using at least one restriction endonuclease. The location of restriction fragments is mapped and compared to that of other viruses. Primers useful for amplifying the cDNA may be derived from sequences found in the 5' non-coding regions of picornavirus including human rhinovirus.
摘要:
Methods of making and using Picornavirus L proteinase peptides (PLPPs) are provided, including, but not limited to, expression of DNA encoding all or a portion thereof, such as a Picornavirus L proteinase (PLP) and variants thereof, as well as methods for determining active sites and inhibitors of a PLP.
摘要:
The invention relates to the expression of mature HRV proteinase 2A, the partial purification thereof and the preparation of substrates having an inhibitory effect.
