- Datasheet
Proteinase K is a broad-spectrum serine protease and our product is extracted from Pichia pastoris cells with cloned gene encoding Engyodontium album (Tritirachium album) endolytic protease. It is a highly reactive protease frequently used for digesting various proteins and enzymes (including endonuclease, exonuclease, DNase or RNase) .Therefore, it is usually used in DNA preparations without impairing the integrity of the isolated DNA. It has a superior performance under a broad range of conditions: pH, buffer, detergents (such as SDS), chelator (such as EDTA), and temperature. Proteinase K hydrolyzes peptide bonds preferentially adjacent to carboxyl group of hydrophobic amino acids (aliphatic, aromatic, and others).
Except the isolation of genome, it can also take a job in detection of enzyme localization or removal of enzymes from DNA to improve cloning efficiency.
Appropriate working concentration of proteinase K is always among the range of 0.05 to 1 mg/mL. The activity of the enzyme can be stimulated by 0.2 to 1% SDS or by 1 to 4 mol urea. It is activated by calcium (1-5mM), although calcium ions do not affect the enzyme activity, but it contributes to the thermal stability and protects the proteinase from autolysis. Proteinase K has two binding sites for Ca2+, which are located close to the active center, but are not directly involved in the catalytic mechanism. So calcium ion has a regulatory function for the substrate binding site of proteinase K. The enzyme is inactivated by DIFP or PMSF. However, it is not inhibited by EDTA, iodoacetic acid, trypsin-specific inhibitor TLCK, chymotrypsin-specific inhibitor TPCK, and p-chloromercuribenzoate.
We recommend an optimum pH of 7.5 to 8.0 and optimum temperature at 50 to 55°C. Rapid denaturation will occur at temperatures above 65°C. You can hold it under 95°C for 10 min as a heat inactivation.

Calculation results:
Working concentration: mg/ml;
Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )
Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.
Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.
Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
