Abstract

A general method for preparing specific inhibitors of virus-specified proteases is disclosed. The inhibitors comprise a halomethyl ketone or methyl ketone moiety covalently linked to a peptide sequence of three, four or five amino acids or amino acid residues, which peptide sequence corresponds to an amino acid sequence found adjacent to and upstream of a cleavage site recognized by a virus-specified protease.
