Endoproteinase Asp-N is a metalloprotease which specifically cleaves the peptide bonds at the amino side of aspartic acid or cysteic acid residues of proteins and peptides.
Applications
Fragmentation of proteins and peptides required for primary structure analysis
Source
Pseudomonas fragi mutant
Purity
Homogeneous on SDS-PAGE. No other proteases detected.
Properties
Molecular weight: 27 kDa (SDS-PAGE)
Optimum temperature: 37°C
Optimum pH: 6.0–8.5
Inhibitors: 2-phenanthroline, EDTA, DTT
Definition of activity
One azocoll unit is defined as the enzyme activity required to liberate azo dye to an absorbance of 0.001 at 520 nm per minute at 37°C at pH 7.5.
Specific Activity: 20 U/µg or more
Form
Lyophilized (containing the equivalent of 50 µl of 10 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5)
Effect of various denaturing agents on enzymatic activityEndoproteinase Asp-N (200 µg/mL) was treated with each denaturant at the indicated concentrationin 25 mM sodium phosphate buffer (pH 7
Effect of various denaturing agents on enzymatic activity
Endoproteinase Asp-N (200 µg/mL) was treated with each denaturant at the indicated concentrationin 25 mM sodium phosphate buffer (pH 7.8). The enzyme was exposed to denaturant for 6 hours at 25°C, then enzyme activity was measured.
