ABSTRACT
Discovery of efficacious antiviral agents targeting SARS-CoV-2 main protease (Mpro) is of the highest importance to fight against COVID-19. Here, we describe a simple protocol for high-throughput screening of Mpro inhibitors using a robust fluorescence polarization (FP) assay. Candidate Mpro inhibitors from large compound libraries could be rapidly identified by monitoring the change of millipolarization unit value. This affordable FP assay can be modified to screen antiviral agents targeting viral protease.
