Synonyms Bacterial leucyl aminopeptidase, EC 3.4.11.10.
Description The 29 kDa Aeromonas Aminopeptidase is produced by genetic engineering and can be used for physical & structural investigations, sequence and amino-terminal determinations. This exopeptidase recognizes a specific stop sign at –X- Pro and requires a free a-amino group in the L-configuration. It is therefore suitable for the removal of the redundant N-terminal methionine often added to engineered recombinant proteins.
Source Aeromonas Proteolytica.
Physical Appearance Sterile filtered liquid formulation.
Formulation Buffered solution containing 10mM Tris-HCL, 100mM NaCl and 5µM ZnSO4, pH 8.0.
Purity Greater than 98.0% as determined by(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.
(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.
Stability Two years when stored at –20°C, 2 weeks at 4°C.
Unit Defenition One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme that hydrolyses 1µmole of L-leucine p-nitroanilide at 25°C per 1 minute.
Biological Activity Recombinant Aeromonas Aminopeptidase was found to have an activity of 120 Units/mg protein.
