Proteinase K (CAS 39450-01-6) is a broad-spectrum serine protease derived from Pseudomonas luteola. Produced via recombinant fermentation, it exhibits high stability under diverse pH and temperature conditions. The enzyme effectively cleaves peptide bonds adjacent to hydrophobic residues, facilitating robust protein digestion.
Store at -20°C in lyophilized form or 4°C in buffer. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. While not classified as a hazardous drug, standard PPE is required to prevent skin sensitization during handling.
