A BRET-based Mpro biosensor containing a nanobody and tandem cleavage sites shows an increased cleavage rate by Geethakumari, Anupriya M

“…Gaussian accelerated molecular dynamics (GaMD) simulations of the predicted alpha-helical synthetic Mpro cleavage sequences revealed a dynamic nature of the cleavage sequences, which is critical for their efficient cleavage, and a relatively short end-to-end distances, which is required for high BRET. Live cell assays revealed a cleavage sequence length-dependent resonance energy transfer, except for the 12× -syn cleavage site, and an increased rate of cleavage and a decreased pharmacological inhibitor efficacy for the Mpro biosensor containing 2× cleavage sequences. …”
