Lysozyme (muramidase) hydrolyzes preferentially the β-1,4 glucosidic linkages between N-acetylmuramic acid and N-acetylglucosamine which occur in the mucopeptide cell wall structure of certain microorganisms, such as Micrococcus lysodeikticus. Extracts group specific antigens …

Thiamine (Vitamin B1) is one of the essential vitamins and is required for carbohydrate metabolism. Thiamine hydrochloride is used as a food-additive to add a brothy/meaty flavor to gravies or soups. It is also used as food supplement. Used in fluorometric determination of mercury.

Papain is a sulfhydryl protease from Carica papaya latex. (A second protease, chymopapain, and a lysozyme have also been isolated from this same source.) Since native crystalline papain is quite unreactive until acted upon by mild reducing agents such as cysteine or cyanide, it may exist as a…

MAO inhibitor; inhibits platelet aggregation.

Ethylenediamine Tetraacetic Acid is a polyamino carboxylic acid hexadentate ligand and a chelating agent. Ethylenediamine Tetraacetic Acid is a chelator of divalent cations. It also inhibits enzymes, such as metalloproteases, that require divalent cations for activity. Zinc-dependent…

Cellulase refers to a group of enzymes which, acting together, hydrolyze cellulose. The b-glucosidases, including cellobiose, are primarily active on the smaller molecular weight cellulose hydrolysates. During cellulose breakdown they are active on the dimers and oligomers of cellulose. …

1X N.F. Stable, 60 mesh powder. 1 gram will digest 50 gram starch in 30 minutes.

β-Mercaptoethylamine is a useful antioxidant .It is experimentally used as a radioprotective agent and It is also used to produce acute and chronic duodenal ulcers in rats and as an antidote to acetaminophen. β-Mercaptoethylamine derived from cysteine degradation is the simplest stable…

Pepsin, an acid protease, contains a proteolytic enzyme. Pepsin contains the "cathepsin" component which has milk curdling activity. It has a broad range of substrate activity and demonstrates an esterase acitivity. It generally attacks peptide bonds. Pepsin is a peptidase used to…

This α-amylase product is a liquefying diastase supplied as a dry, free-flowing powder having high uniformity and excellent storage stability. The general procedure for the enzymatic liquefaction of starch is the same, regardless of the nature of the end product. The degree of conversion…

The typical use for this product is in removing adherent cells from a culture surface. The concentration of trypsin necessary to dislodge cells from their substrate is dependent primarily on the cell type and the age of the culture. Trypsins have also been used for the re-suspension of cells during…

Pancreatin is a mixture of several digestive enzymes produced by the exocrine cells of the porcine pancreas and delivered to the small intestine for the hydrolysis of complex nutrients. It is a broad-spectrum protease composed of amylase, trypsin, lipase, ribonuclease and protease. Pancreatin…

Lactase is an enzyme preparation produced by Aspergillus oryzae fermentation. Hydrolyzes Lactose Produces β-D-Galactose and a-D-Glucose One unit will hydrolyze 1.0 µmole of o-nitrophenyl-beta-D-galactoside to o-nitrophenol per minute at pH 4.5 and 30°C …

Ficin is a purified ficin preparation which is extracted from the latex of the fig tree Ficus glabrata. Ficin is classified as a thiol protease. Ficin hydrolyses the peptide bonds where the carbonyl group is from phenylalanine or tyrosine. When used in conjunction with other plants proteases,…

Lipases are a subclass of the esterases. It catalyzes the hydrolysis of emulsified esters of glycerol and long chain fatty acids. Lipases are used industrially for the resolution of chiral compounds and the transesterification production of biodiesel. Lipases catalyze the hydrolysis of esters…

Esculin Monohydrate protects cells against DNA damage and reduces ROS levels. It is also a carcinogenesis inhibitor and displays vitamin P activity. Esculin is a coumarin glycoside that demonstrates antioxidant activitites and protection against chemically-induced carcinogenesis. Esculin is…

Enzyme used in purification protocols of genomic and plasmid DNA to lyse bacterial cells.
