Boc-Xaa-ONp hydrolysis by HCMV A143T/A144T protease mutant. 50
μM Boc-Xaa-ONp (Xaa represents amino acids Phe, Leu, Ile, Ala,
Val, Gln, Gly) and Boc-l-Gly-l-Gly-ONp were incubated
with 10 μg/mL HCMV A143T/A144T protease mutant for up to 10
min at 30 °C. p-Nitrophenol generated by the
reaction was detected at 405 nm (n = 3).
