Abstract: | In a proof of concept study, we created a small focused fluorescent hexapeptide library onto 14 multiplexed barcoded sets of silica particles to probe the substrate recognition specificity of West Nile and Dengue virus proteases. A flow cytometric analysis demonstrated that the optical signature of each bead population remained distinguishable throughout the solid-phase peptide synthesis and proteolytic assay. As expected, both proteases displayed a narrow specificity for lysine and arginine residues in the P1 and P2 substrate positions. This open-ended platform enables the fast and simultaneous identification of peptide substrates and is applicable to other proteases. |
