Proteinase K

Marketsource

Proteinase K is a stable serine protease with broad substrate specificity and will degrade many proteins in their native conformation, even in the presence of detergents (e.g., SDS).

Specifications: Lyophilized enzyme provided with Proteinase K Storage Buffer.
Enzyme Commission Number: (EC 3.4.21.64)
Source: Engyodontium album pH and Temperature Range: 4,0 to 12,0 (8,0 is optimum), 25 to 65 °C.
Specific Activity: Over 30 units/mg protein
Unit Definition: One unit (U) of enzyme will hydrolyze urea-denatured hemoglobin to produce 1.0 μmole of tyrosine per minute at pH 7,5 at 37 °C.

The enzyme is frequently used in molecular biology applications to digest unwanted proteins such as nucleases from DNA and/or RNA preparations from microorganisms, cells, and plants.
