Features: Proteinase K is a highly active and stable protease with low cutting specificity. The enzyme belongs to the group of subtilisine-related serine proteases and is strongly inhibited by PMSF.
Usage: In presence of 0.5 – 1 % SDS Proteinase K inactivates DNases and RNases in eucaryotic and microbiological cell cultures. The use of Proteinase K during lysis of the cells allows the isolation of intact highly-molecular nucleic acids.
Quality: - purified by chromatography and lyophilised - RNases: not detectable - DNases: not detectable - Exonucleases: not detectable Storage: 4 °C or -20 °C for at least 24 months, shipment at ambient temperature
