Size: 1.6 L
Concentration: 100 mg/ml
Specific Activity: 180 U/mg
Proteinase K is an endolytic protease that cleaves peptide bonds at the carboxylic sides of aliphatic, aromatic or hydrophobic amino acids. The Proteinase K is classified as a serine protease. The smallest peptide to be hydrolyzed by this enzyme is a tetrapeptide.
Source
From yeast cells with cloned gene encoding genetically engineered Engyodontium album (Tritirachium album) endolytic protease.
Molecular Weight
29.3 kDa monomer.
Definition of Activity Unit
One unit of the enzyme liberates Folin-positive amino acids and peptides corresponding to 1 µmol tyrosine in 1 min at 37°C , pH 7.5 using denatured hemoglobin as substrate.
Enzyme activity is assayed in the following mixture: 0.08 M potassium phosphate (pH 7.5), 5 M urea, 4 mM NaCl, 3 mM CaCl2 and 16.7 mg/ml hemoglobin.
