Simultaneous assay for protease activities of hepatitis C virus and human immunodeficiency virus based on fluorescence detection

Abstract Hepatitis C virus protease (HCV-PR) and human immunodeficiency virus protease (HIV-PR) are important for virus maturation, and thus can be used as potential target molecules for the development of antiviral drugs for the treatment of viral infections. In this study, a novel assay was develo...
