Background

Chymotrypsin is a serine endoproteinase that specifically cleaves peptide bonds at the C-termini of Tyr, Phe, Trp and Leu. Met, Ala, Asp and Glu may be cleaved at a much lower rate.

Components

Recombinant α-Chymotrypsin, human lyophilized powder

Protocol

Optimal incubation times and enzyme concentrations must be determined empirically for a particular substrate. Typical reaction conditions are as follows:
Add Recombinant α-Chymotrypsin, human, to a final protease: protein ratio of 1:200 to 1:20(w/w), and incubate sample for 2–18 hours at 25°C. The reaction may be stopped, if desired, by adding 0.5% trifluoroacetic acid.

Unit Definition

One unit is defined as the amount of Chymotrypsin that will hydrolize 1.0µmol of BTEE per minute at pH 7.8 and 25°C.

Picture

Bioactivity

In the experimental design, BTEE substrate was prepared, and 6 ul α-chymotrypsin of 0.2 mg/mL was added to the uartz cuvette with an optical path of 1cm of 2994 ul substrate and the absorption value of 256 nm was read every 10 seconds at 25 ℃.

SDS-PAGE

1μg (R: reducing condition, N: non-reducing condition).

RP-HPLC
