Endoproteinase GluC from Staphylococcus aureus, Recombinant

Protease S. aureus V8 (Endoproteinase-Glu-C) specifically cleaves peptide bonds on the COOH-terminal side of either aspartic or glutamic acids. In the presence of ammonium, the enzyme specificity is limited to glutamic sites. It has a molecular weight of 27 kDa daltons and optimum pH's of 4.0 and 7.8 with hemoglobin as the substrate. Protease S. aureus V8 is inhibited by diisopropylfluorophosphate and monovalent anions such as F-, Cl-, CH3COO-and NO3. Enzyme activity is determined by the casein digestion assay described by Drapeau.http://www.creative-enzymes.com/product/Endoproteinase-GluC-From-Staphylococcus-Aureus-Recombinant_3472.html
