MOLECULAR BIOLOGY: WORKING WITH PROTEINS

COMPOSITION: PROTEASE CLEAVAGE

PROTEASE CLEAVAGE OF PROTEIN BOND: ENDOPROTEINASE GLUTAMIC ACID-C (GLU-C)

Protease Cleavage of Protein Bond: Endoproteinase Glutamic Acid-C (Glu-C)
 
Procedure
A. Cleavage of Glutamic Acid-X (Glu-X) Bonds (Cleavage Will Not Occur if X=Proline)

1. Dissolve the protein substrate in 100 mM Ammonium Bicarbonate at 10 mg/ml.

2. Add 0.03 volumes of the enzyme to the protein substrate and incubate for 2 to 18 hours (determine empirically) at 37°C.

B. Cleavage of Glutamic Acid-X (Glu-X) and Aspartic Acid-X (Asp-X) Bonds (Cleavage Will Not Occur if X=Proline)

1. Dissolve the protein substrate in 100 mM Phosphate Buffer at 10 mg/ml.

2. Add 0.03 volumes of the enzyme to the protein substrate and incubate for 2 to 8 hours (determine empirically) at 37°C.
