Specific Activity: ≥30 U/mg protein Form: Contains proteinase K (≥95%), lyophilized powder 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.
Application Isolation of genomic DNA from cultured cells and tissues Removal of DNases and RNases when isolating DNA and RNA from tissues or cell lines Determination of enzyme localization Improving cloning efficiency of PCR products
Features Recombinant proteinase K Active in a wide range of reaction products
