Description
Proteinase K is a broad-spectrum serine protease originally isolated from fungus Engyodontium album. Proteinase K is commonly used in molecular biological and biopharmaceutical applications to remove protein contamination from preparations of highly native undamaged nucleic acid because it rapidly and effectively inactive nuclease that might degrade the DNA or RNA even in the presence of denaturing reagents. MEBEP recombinant proteinase K is a mutant to the native protease that result in improved specific activity, higher yield and wider range of pH/temperature with optimal activity. The large scale recombinant preparation has advantages in lot-to-lot consistency, superior purity and cost-efficiency. DNA-free nature of recombinant Proteinase K made it well-suited in isolating DNA and RNA templates. Recombinant proteinase K is widely used for general digestion of proteins and Chemo-enzymatic peptide synthesis in molecular biology, molecular diagnostic and biopharmaceutical applications. Proteinase K is one of important enzymes in various industries like leather, cosmetics, food and feed etc.
