Other Notes

An alkylating reagent that may react with histidine or cysteine residues at the active site of enzymes. Inactivates serine proteases such as trypsin and clostripain . Chymotrypsin is not affected. To prevent proteolytic degradation, a combination of TLCK and TPCK can be used throughout the isolation of proteins, as in the isolation of histones.

A technique for quickly detecting nanogram quantities of low- and high-molecular-weight inhibitors of some serine proteases is described. The inhibitor solutions are spotted onto agar films which contain either L-1-p-tosylamino-2-phenylethyl chloromethyl ketone (TPCK)-trypsin or tosyl lysine chloromethyl ketone (TLCK)-chymotrypsin.
