Native endoproteinase Lys-C from Lysobacter enzymogenes. Serine protease that specifically hydrolyses amide and peptide ester bonds at the carboxylic side of lysine in peptides and proteins. Designed for protein sequencing or sequence verification, analysis of protein structural domains, and cleavage of fusion proteins. Inhibited by aprotinin, DFP, leupeptin, and TLCK. Suggested working concentration: 1:20 to 1:100 (protease: protein by weight) for sequence analysis.
