The substrate of 500μg fusion protein was digested by enzyme, and the addition amount of enterokinase in the sample was 0.2U, 0.5U, 1U,1.5U, 2U,2.5U and 3U respectively. The substrate is a fusion protein with a molecular weight of 30.5 KD and reacted at 25 ℃ for 16 hours, and the target band of 27.6kD is produced after restriction enzyme digestion.

Background
Enterokinase is a specific protease that cleaves after lysine at its cleavage site Asp-Asp-Asp-Asp-Lys. It will sometimes cleave at other basic residues, depending on the conformation of the protein substrate. This product is a high-purity, high-specific activity enterokinase prepared using a recombinant E.coli. It boasts a broad range of applicability (operating temperature: 4-45°C; pH range: 4.5-9.5) and retains partial activity in the presence of various detergents and denaturants.
Components
5 U/μl hEK, 20mM Tris-HCl, 200 mM NaCl, 2mM CaCl2, 50% Glycerol, pH 7.4 @ 25°C
Protocol
Optimal incubation times and enzyme concentrations must be determined empirically for a particular substrate. Typical reaction conditions are as follows:
1、Combine 500 ug of sample with reaction buffer *(Recommended Reaction Buffer: 20 mM Tris-HCl, 50 mM NaCl, 2 mM CaCl2 (pH 8.0))
2、Add 1 U of Enterokinase,
3、Incubate at 25°C for 16 hours
Guidelines
Enterokinase is inhibited by high salt concentrations. For optimal activity NaCl concentration should be 50mM or less. The pH of the buffer should be between 6 and 9. The enzyme requires 2 mM Calcium for activity.
