Abstract
A colorimetric assay for HIV proteinase using small protected peptide substrates is described. Substrates are cleaved to release N-terminal prolyl peptides which react with isatin to form a blue product which is measured spectrophotometrically. The assay is suitable for use with pure enzyme or crude extracts derived from genetically engineered Escherichia coli.Entities:
