what is Proteinase K enzyme?
Proteinase K enzyme is a powerful proteolytic enzyme isolated from Candida albicans, with high specific activity, and is a key reagent for DNA extraction. This enzyme is active in a wide pH range (4-12.5) and high temperature (50-70 ° C), and is used for the isolation of plasmids or genomic DNA and RNA.

What are the use of Proteinase K enzyme?
|
|
It is often applied in the field of molecular biology. When preparing nucleic acids, Proteinase K Enzyme can remove impurities and rapidly inactivate nucleases, avoiding their degradation of target products DNA and RNA. In addition, Proteinase K Enzyme has other advantages, as it can still maintain activity in the presence of denaturing agents such as SDS, urea, EDTA, etc., which is quite different from other proteases such as trypsin and chymotrypsin.

What is the activity of Proteinase K Enzyme?
Proteinase K Enzyme activity>30U/mg. At 37 ℃, using hemoglobin as a substrate, the amount of proteinase K equivalent to 1 micromolar tyrosine Folin positive amino acid or peptide can be produced within 1 minute, defined as one unit proteinase K enzyme activity. Effective over a wide pH range, with an effective pH range of pH 4.0-12.5 and an optimal pH range of pH 7.5-8.0. The optimal reaction temperature for proteinase K is 65 ℃, but at temperatures of 65 ℃ or higher, proteinase K itself degrades very rapidly. Many times, the reaction temperature is chosen between 50-55 ℃.

How Proteinase K Enzyme perform DNA extraction?
|
|
The broad range of Proteinase K Enzyme activity can remove cell wall, cytoplasmic and DNA-associated proteins. This is important to improve the purity, quantity and integrity of the DNA. The proteolytic activity of Proteinase K Enzyme degrades the peptide bonds present in various proteins and makes them inactive. Thereby, it removes contaminants, cell debris and other unwanted cellular components from the DNA. |
