Description:

Recombinant EK protease is a common tool enzyme used to excise affinity tags on fusion proteins. It has strong site specificity and strictly recognizes the five-amino acid sequence DDDDK. The cleavage site is between aspartic acid and lysine. between. The commonly used five amino acid sequence is: Asp-Asp-Asp-Lys.

The recombinant EK protease can achieve the best activity at pH 7.4 and 23 °C, but it is active in a wide range of pH 4.5 to 9.5 and temperature of 4 to 45 °C, so that the choice of reaction conditions can be based on the target protein. Be flexible. In addition, the His-tag contained in rEK can be used to remove it by Ni-NTA resin to achieve the purpose of purifying unlabeled protein.
