3C-like protease
The 3C-like protease (3CLpro) or main protease (Mpro), formally known as C30 endopeptidase or 3-chymotrypsin-like protease, is the main protease found in coronaviruses. It cleaves the coronavirus polyprotein at eleven conserved sites. It is a cysteine protease and a member of the PA clan of proteases. It has a cysteine-histidine catalytic dyad at its active site and cleaves a Gln–(Ser/Ala/Gly) peptide bond.
SARS-CoV-2 main proteinase dimer with the catalytic dyad (H41; C145) in complex with a covalent peptidomimetic protease inhibitor ("11a", magenta). From PDB: 6LZE. | |||||||||

The Enzyme Commission refers to this family as SARS coronavirus main proteinase (Mpro; EC 3.4.22.69). The 3CL protease corresponds to coronavirus nonstructural protein 5 (nsp5). The "3C" in the common name refers to the 3C protease (3Cpro) which is a homologous protease found in picornaviruses.
