The flaviviral NS2B/NS3 protease is a conserved enzyme required for flavivirus replication. Its highly dynamic conformation poses major challenges but also offers opportunities for antiviral inhibition. Here, we established a nanopore tweezers-based platform to monitor NS2B/NS3 conformational dynamics in real-time. Molecular simulations coupled with electrophysiology revealed that the protease could be captured in the middle of the ClyA nanopore lumen, stabilized mainly by dynamic electrostatic interactions. We designed a new Salmonella typhi ClyA nanopore with enhanced nanopore/protease interaction that can resolve the open and closed states at the single-molecule level for the first time. We demonstrated that the tailored ClyA could track the conformational transitions of the West Nile NS2B/NS3 protease and unravel the conformational energy landscape of various protease constructs through population and kinetic analysis. The new ClyA-protease platform paves a way to high-throughput screening strategies for discovering new allosteric inhibitors that target the NS2B and NS3 interface.
