Protease V.8 specifically cleaves peptide bonds on the COOH terminal side of either aspartic or glutamic acids. In the presence of ammonium, the specificity is limited to glutamic sites.
Application Notes
The enzyme specifically cleaves peptide bonds on the COOH terminal side of either aspartic or glutamic acids. | Used in a study to investigate immobilized residue-specific endoproteinases for protein sequencing. Protease V8 is used in a study to assess enzymatic cleaning of inorganic ultrafiltration membranes used for whey protein fractionation. It has also been used in a study to investigate immobilized residue-specific endoproteinases for protein sequencing.
