• Dilution Buffer: 20 mM Tris-Cl (pH 7.4), 1 mM CaCl2, 50% glycerol.

QC Assays:

• Unit Definition: One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme that will liberate 1 µmol of tyrosine per minute from casein at 37°C at pH 7.5.
• DNase Activity: None detectable after incubation with λ DNA for 6 hours at 37°C.
• RNase Activity: None detectable after incubation with RNA for 16 hours at 25°C.
• Protein Purity: Over 99% (Native-PAGE and SDS-PAGE assay)

Applications:

The application of this Mutant Proteinase K is similar to wild-type Proteinase K. But this mutant one has higher specific activity and is more stable at room temperature. It is a non-specific serine proteinase with broad substrates. It is active over the pH range from 4 to 12. It can be used in any situation to digest native and denatured proteins. For instance, it is used for isolating mRNA or genomic DNA from different tissues and modifying glycoprotein for structure studies. Mutant Proteinase K is active with SDS, urea, and EDTA and active between 15°C and 75°C.
