Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Protease Inhibition Assay
Description:  All enzyme assays were performed under initial velocity and steady-state conditions. The conditions for the enzyme catalyzed hydrolysis of the cleavage site peptide VSQN-(beta-naphthylalanine)-PIV were established with respect to time and enzyme concentration to yield linear initial velocity data. IC50 is inhibitor concentration, which inhibits 50% peptide cleavage activity of HIV protease. The detection of product was monitored with fluorescence (excitation 270 nm, emission 330 nm).
