FAQ
What is the main application of the SensoLyte® 490 HIV Protease Assay Kit?
This assay kit is primarily used to measure HIV protease activity, making it invaluable for drug screening aimed at developing HIV therapeutics.
How does the FRET mechanism work in this assay?
The assay utilizes a fluorogenic peptide substrate that, upon cleavage by HIV protease, emits a fluorescence signal. This signal is used to continuously monitor the activity of the enzyme.
Is the kit suitable for high-throughput screening?
Yes, the SensoLyte® 490 HIV Protease Assay Kit is designed with high-throughput screening in mind, providing reliable results that can be integrated into larger testing workflows.
