• Storage Conditions:

  Lyophilized and reconstituted products are stable for 6 months after receipt at -20°C. Reconstitute with sterile recommended storage buffer (above). Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.

• Specificity:

  In addition to cleavage of peptide bonds, it is able to catalyze peptide amide hydrolysis. Proteinase K is inactivated by diisopropyl fluorophosphate (DFP) or phenyl methane sulphonyl fluoride (PMSF). Chelating agents such as citrate and EDTA have no affect on the enzyme activity.
