Product Characteristics
Mass spectrometry-grade trypsin is a serine endopeptidase produced through genetic engineering technology. It specifically cleaves peptide bonds at the carboxyl terminus of lysine (K) and arginine (R), exhibiting the following key properties:
Animal Origin-Free: Manufactured without any animal-derived raw materials, eliminating the risk of exogenous viral contamination.
High Purity and Activity: Exhibits high purity, specific activity, and low levels of host protein residues.
Batch-to-Batch Consistency: Ensures stable and reproducible quality across production lots.
Application Scenarios
Post-Translational Modification (PTM) Analysis: Under low pH conditions, recombinant trypsin suppresses non-enzymatic modifications (e.g., deamidation, disulfide bond scrambling) while efficiently cleaving proteolysis-resistant sites, enabling accurate PTM localization.
Protein Identification and Quantification: By specifically cleaving lysine (K) and arginine (R) residues, it digests complex protein samples into peptides detectable by mass spectrometry, facilitating precise protein identification via database matching.
Exosome and Single-Cell Proteomics: Exosomes, as intercellular communication carriers, require highly sensitive digestion protocols. Combining recombinant trypsin with Lys-C significantly improves peptide recovery from exosome samples, advancing liquid biopsy technologies.
Choose Excellence and Reliability
Trypsin, Mass Spectrometry Grade (Product Code: UA070130)
In terms of sequence coverage, UA070130 demonstrates a slight advantage, with enzyme P and enzyme Y exhibiting coverage values that are 1.3% and 2.3% lower, respectively. However, when considering peptides with no more than three missed cleavage sites, a different trend emerges. Enzyme Y yields the highest proportion, followed by enzymes UA070130 and P, which show marginally lower values. These results indicate that the three enzymes display comparable efficacy in protein digestion.
