Recombinant SARS-CoV-2 3CL Protease, CF Summary
Product Datasheets
Carrier Free
CF stands for Carrier Free (CF). We typically add Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) as a carrier protein to our recombinant proteins.Adding a carrier protein enhances protein stability, increases shelf-life, and allows the recombinant protein to be stored at a more dilute concentration.The carrier free version does not contain BSA.
In general, we advise purchasing the recombinant protein with BSA for use in cell or tissue culture, or as an ELISA standard.In contrast, the carrier free protein is recommended for applications, in which the presence of BSA could interfere.

GC376 achieves 50% inhibition of 30 nM SARS-CoV-2 3CL Protease (E-720) at a concentation of 54-71 nM.

SDS-PAGE of Recombinant SARS-CoV-2 3CL Protease. 1 μg and 2 μg of Recombinant SARS-CoV-2 3CL Protease (Catalog # E-720) was resolved with SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions and visualized by colloidal Coomassie Blue staining, showing a band at 34 kDa.

LC-MS analysis of SARS-CoV-2 3CL Protease. SARS-CoV-2 3CL Protease (Catalog # E-720) was analyzed by a Thermo Q Exactive HF instrument then deconvoluted using Thermo BioPharma Finder software. The expected monoisotopic mass is 33774.478 Da.
Reconstitution Calculator
Background: 3CL Protease
The 3CL protease (aka 3CLpro, Mpro or "Main" Protease) from the human SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus 2) is a C30-type cysteine protease located within the non-structural proteins 3 (NS3) section of the viral polypeptide.3CLproactivity is required to process the viral polyprotein into functional, mature subunits, and there are 11 or more sites of cleavage, many containing the sequence LQ[S/A/G]; the protease cleaves c-terminal to the glutamine amino acid. Along with the CoV-2 Papain-Like Protease (catalog number E-611),3CLpropresents an attractive target for therapeutic intervention for COVID-19. Because no human proteases with a similar cleavage specificity are known, inhibitors of3CLproare unlikely to cause mechanism-based toxicity. This recombinant protein is untagged.
