Product Description
Alpha Chymotrypsin Porcine
Background
Porcine chymotrypsin, derived from the pancreas of pigs, stands as a cornerstone in enzymology, serving as a paradigmatic model for understanding proteolytic mechanisms and substrate specificity. Renowned for its catalytic prowess and structural intricacies, porcine chymotrypsin has garnered significant attention from researchers across various scientific disciplines. The fascination with porcine chymotrypsin stems from its ability to cleave peptide bonds selectively after large hydrophobic amino acids, such as tryptophan, tyrosine, and phenylalanine.
Biological Activity
Greater than 1500 USP U/mg.
Specifications
| Formulation | The protein (1mg/ml) was lyophilized with no additives. |
|---|---|
| Storage | Lyophilized Chymotrypsin although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution Chymotrypsin should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
| Expression System | Porcine Pancreas. |
