Applications

The application of this Mutated Proteinase K is similar with wild type Proteinase K. But the mutated one has higher specific activity and more stable at RT. It is a broad substrate non-specific serine Proteinase. It is active over the pH range 4-11. It was used on any situation to digest native and denatured proteins. For instance, it is used for isolating mRNA or genomic DNA from different tissues and modifying glycoprotein for structure studies. Mutated Proteinase K is active with SDS, urea and EDTA and active between the temperature15-75ºC
