The only HTS assay kits for screening
HCV NS3/4A
EnzoLyte assay kits are specifically designed for the detection and quantification of NS3/4A protease activity at subnanomolar concentrations and can be used in 96- or 384-well microplate format
Hepatitis C virus (HCV), belonging to the Flaviviridae family of positive, single stranded RNA, infects approximately 170 million people worldwide The HCV polyprotein consists of structural proteins (C, E1, E2 and p7), and the non-structural (NS) proteins (NS2, NS3, NS4A, NS4B, NS5A, and NS5B) as a result of proteolytical cleavages of host signal peptidases; and metalloprotease and serine proteases, respectively
