AbbrProtease, Native (Bacillus licheniformis)AliasProteaseSourceBacillus licheniformisApplicationsThe product has been used with other enzymes for in situ proteolysis to produce crystals suitable for structure determination. It has also been used in the process of isolation of subsarcolemmal (SS) and intermyofibrillar (IMF) mitochondria that can be used for functional in vitro studies. This is a proteolytic enzyme isolated from the fermentation of Bacillus licheniformis. It is a serine endoproteinase with a broad specificity towards native and denatured proteins, and is active under alkaline conditions.Product OverviewThe enzyme is found to be stable at pH 8-10, retaining activity of up to 90% for 24 hours. It shows maximum activity at temperatures between 55-60°C.FormType VIII, lyophilized powder; Type I, aqueous solutionEnzyme Commission NumberEC 3.4.21.62
