The 3C-like protease (3CLpro) of severe acute respiratory syndrome associated coronavirus (SARS-CoV) is vital for SARS-CoV replication and is a promising drug target. Recombinant 3CLpro was expressed in Pichia pastoris GS115 as a 42 kDa protein that displayed a Km of 15 ± 2 μM with Dabcyl-KTSAVLQSGFRKME-Edans as substrate. Purified 3CLpro was used for inhibition and kinetic assays with seven flavonoid compounds. The IC50 of six flavonoid compounds were 47–381 μM. Quercetin, epigallocatechin… CONTINUE READING
