Development of an active-site titrant for SARS-CoV-2 main protease as an indispensable tool for evaluating enzyme kinetics

A titrant for the SARS-CoV-2 main protease(Mpro)was developed that enables,for the first time,the exact determination of the concentration of the enzymatically active Mpro by active-site titration.The covalent binding mode of the tetrapeptidic titrant was elucidated by the determination of the crystal structure of the enzyme-titrant complex.Four fluorogenic substrates of Mpro,including a prototypical,intemally quenched Dabcyl-EDANS peptide,were compared in terms of solubility under typical assay conditions.By exploiting the new titrant,key kinetic parameters for the Mpro-catalyzed cleavage of these substrates were determined.
