Human rhinovirus is the most frequent viral infectious agent in humans and the leading cause of the common cold. Rhinoviruses contain a genome consisting of a positive-sense, single-stranded RNA which codes for a single polyprotein precursor. The polyprotein is processed primarily by proteases 2A and 3C resulting in a variety of functional proteins and enzymes. AkrivisBio’s HRV 3C Protease Activity Assay measures the ability of a 3C Protease to cleave a chromogenic peptide, releasing pNA with a sensitivity below 50 ng per well.
