Proteinase K (liquid)
- High activity and low relative cost of dosage
- No nickase contamination, protect DNA integrity and improve the specificity
- of nucleic acid amplification
- Excellent stability at room temperature, reducing transportation costs
- Large-scale production, strict batch control
Proteinase K is a stable serine protease with broad substrate specificity. It degrades many proteins in the native state even in the presence of detergents. Evidence from crystal and molecular structure studies indicates the enzyme belongs to the subtilisin family with an active site catalytic triad (Asp39-His69-Ser224). The predominant site of cleavage is the peptide bond adjacent to the carboxyl group of aliphatic and aromatic amino acids with blocked alpha amino groups. It is commonly used for its broad specificity.
PRECAUTIONS
Wear protective gloves and goggles when using or weighing, and keep well ventilated after use. This product may cause a skin allergic reaction. Cause serious eye irritation. If inhaled, it may cause allergy or asthma symptoms, or dyspnea. It may cause respiratory irritation.
UNIT DEFINITION
One unit (U) is defined as the amount of enzyme required to hydrolyze casein to produce 1 μmol tyrosine per minute under the following conditions.
REAGENTS PREPARATION
Reagent I: 1 g milk casein was dissolved in 50 mL of 0.1 M sodium phosphate solution (pH 8.0), incubated in 65-70 ℃ water for 15 min, stirred and dissolved, cooled by water, adjusted by sodium hydroxide to pH 8.0, and fixed volume 100mL.
Reagent II: TCA solution: 0.1 M trichloroacetic acid, 0.2 M sodium acetate, 0.3 M acetic acid.
Reagent III: 0.4 M Na2CO3 solution.
Reagent IV: Forint reagent diluted with pure water for 5 times.
Reagent V: enzyme diluent: 0.1 M sodium phosphate solution (pH 8.0).
Reagent VI: tyrosine solution: 0, 0.005, 0.025, 0.05, 0.075, 0.1, 0.25 umol/mL tyrosine dissolved with 0.2 M HCl.
PROCEDURE
- 0.5 mL of reagent I is pre-warmed to 37℃, add 0.5 mL of enzyme solution, mix well, and incubate at 37℃ for 10 min.
- Add 1 mL of reagent II to stop the reaction, mix well, and continue incubation for 30 min.
- Centrifugate reaction solution.
- Take 0.5 mL supernatant, add 2.5 mL reagent III, 0.5 mL reagent IV, mix well and incubate at 37℃ for 30 min.
- OD660 was determined as OD1; blank control group: 0.5 mL reagent V is used to replace enzyme solution to determine OD660 as OD2, △OD=OD1-OD2.
- L-tyrosine standard curve: 0.5mL different concentration L-tyrosine solution, 2.5mL Reagent III, 0.5mL Reagent IV in 5mL centrifuge tube, incubate in 37℃ for 30min, detect for OD660 for different concentration of L-tyrosine, then obtained the standard curve Y=kX+b, where Y is the L-tyrosine concentration, X is OD60
