FunctionVirus protease or 3C protease or virus proteinase are virus cysteine proteases which have essential role in viral replication. The protease cleaves the precursor viral polyprotein to produce functional proteins and enzymes.[1] F DiseaseVirus proteases are attractive target for therapeutic agents for treatment of diseases caused by the common cold virus. Coxsakievirus causes the human diseases myocarditis and pericarditis. Structural highlightsViral protease - a Cys protease fold is similar to that of trypsin-like serine proteases. The active site triad contains Cys147, His40 and Glu71 (PDB entry 1cqq).[2] Whole binding site. See also
