Thermo Scientific™ Pierce™ Glu-C Protease, MS Grade

Thermo Scientific™ Pierce™ Glu-C Protease, MS Grade

Thermo Scientific Glu-C Protease, MS Grade, is a highly specific endoproteinase use to improve sequence coverage in mass spectrometry protein identification applications.

This Glu-C is a mass spectrometry (MS)-grade serine protease isolated from Staphylococcus aureus. Glu-C can be used alone or alongside trypsin or other proteases to produce complementary protein digests for peptide mapping and protein sequencing. Glu-C protease is suitable for either in-solution or in-gel digestion workflows. This Glu-C enzyme is packaged lyophilized (5 x 10 µg).

Features

• Complementary to tryptic digests—hydrolyzes proteins specifically at the carboxyl side of glutamic acids
• Increased sequence coverage—better protein characterization results from overlapping peptides with complementary sequence coverage and chromatographic, ionization and fragmentation properties
• High specific activity—greater than 500 units/mg protein
• N-terminal arginine cleavage specificity—at least 90% for a complex protein sample
• Stable—provided in a lyophilized format
