We have developed a simple in vitro translation method to analyze compounds that inhibit the rhinovirus 3C protease in peptide substrate assays but demonstrate no antiviral activity. This complementary assay, which provides both qualitative and quantitative results, detects the inhibition of the 3CD protease in the native polyprotein form.
