Lysyl Endopeptidase®, recombinant, Biopharmaceutical Analysis Grade (rLys-C)

This product is a recombinant Lysyl Endopeptidase® expressed in E. coli. Lysyl endopeptidase® is a serine protease that cleaves peptide bonds at the carboxy-terminus of lysine residues with high specificity.
Taking advantage of its excellent specificity, Lysyl Endopeptidase® is used for peptide fragmentation and peptide mapping for analysis of the primary structure of proteins. This product is checked residual DNA and Host cell protein for biopharmaceutical analysis.

Features

The data suggested that our rLys-C have higher activity and specificity in long time reaction than the competitor’s product.

Procedure

1. Sample preparation

①Dissolve or dilute the protein sample to be digested with 25 mmol/L Tris-HCl, 1 mmol/L EDTA,pH 8.5~9.0.
②Add Disulfide threitositol (DTT) or β-mercaptoethanol to the solubilized protein at the final concentration of 5 mmol/L.
③Incubate for 30 min at room temperature.
④Add iodoacetamide to the solubilized protein at the final concentration of 10 mmol/L.
⑤Incubate in dark for 30 min at room temperature.

2. rLys-C preparation

①Dissolve lyophilized powder of rLys-C with 100 μl 12.5 mmol/L Tris-HCl, pH 8.5~9.0.

3. Sample digestion

①Add the prepared rLys-C to sample solution according to the enzyme : protein mass ratio of 1:20~1:100, and incubate at 35℃~37℃ for 2~18 hours.
②The final concentration of 0.5~1.0v/v% trifluoroacetic acid is added to stop the reaction.
