V1126/27ins, insertion of Val between aa 1126 and 1127; L1155del, deletion of L1155.
Proteolytic activity was monitored using SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the products of reactions catalyzed by anin vitro produced PL1pro or its derivatives in the trans-cleavage and monomolecular assays (41).
