Proteases as Targets for SARS-CoV-2 Treatment
Researchers have shown that proteases are actively used by SARS-CoV-2 for it’s entry and replication into human cells. To support research on this topic, BPS Bioscience provides a range of screening kits to identify inhibitory compounds directed against these human and viral proteases.
SARS-CoV-2’s mechanism of entry and replication into human cells is now well known and described by the scientific community. The penetration steps can be d...
SARS-CoV-2 Accessory Proteins & ORF9b
Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 is an enveloped virus that interacts with host cells via a protruding protein called Spike , and fuses with the cellular membrane to inject its genome into the cell. The SARS family of coronaviruses contain a large single stranded RNA genome of about 30 kb with both unique and conserved features compared to other coronaviruses [1].
The presence of a 5′ methylated cap and a 3′ poly-adenylated tail allows the posit...

Protease Screening & Profiling
Proteases are catalytic enzymes found in all forms of life, including viruses, that regulate a wide range of vital physiological processes. In animals, they are critical for digestion of food, lysosome and proteasome degradation, apoptosis, blood coagulation, cell cycle regulation, cell signaling, and more. The dysregulation of protease activity can lead to pathologies such as arthritis and inflammatory diseases, cardiovascul...
