Description
Endoproteinase Lys-C, Sequencing Grade, can be used for specific cleavage of peptides.Endoproteinase Lys-C, Sequencing Grade, is a widely used serine protease, that specifically hydrolyzes amide, ester, and peptide bonds at the carboxylic side of lysin. Endoproteinase Lys-C is isolated from Lysobacter enzymogenes and is supplied as a lyophilizate.
Uses
Lysyl endopeptidase, Achromobacter sp (Lys-C) catalyzes carboxyl oxygen exchange reaction. Lysyl endopeptidase has higher substrate binding affinities and higher catalytic rates at the acidic pHs than at the alkaline pHs[1].
Application
Use Endoproteinase Lys-C, Sequencing Grade, for protein structure analysis and for sequence analysis. It is suitable to digest proteins in solution, in polyacrylamide gels or on blotting membranes.
