Application

Non-specific Protease Activity Assay Video
Protease is an enzyme used to break down proteins by hydrolyzing peptide bonds. Protease is used to degrade proteins, to study protease inhibitors and to study thermal inactivation kinetics. Product P4630 is from bovine pancreas. Protease from bovine pancrease (type I) has been used for the extraction of hemicellulose.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Protease catabolizes proteins by hydrolysis of peptide bonds. Proteases are inactivated by serine active-site inhibitors, such as phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF) and diisopropylfluorophosphate.

Quality

Crude

Unit Definition

One unit will hydrolyze casein to produce color equivalent to 1.0 μmole (181 μg) of tyrosine per min at pH 7.5 at 37 °C (color by Folin-Ciocalteu reagent), unless otherwise indicated.

Protocols

Universal Protease Activity Assay: Casein as a Substrate

Proteases break peptide bonds. In the lab, it is often necessary to measure and/or compare the activity of proteases. Sigma's non-specific protease activity assay may be used as a standardized procedure to determine the activity of proteases, which is what we do during our quality control procedures.

Universal Protease Activity Assay using Casein as a Substrate

Measure and compare the activity of proteases with this non-specific protease activity assay using casein. Use this assay as a standardized procedure to determine the activity of proteases for quality control.
