More Details
CHYMOTRYPSIN (EC 3.4.21.1) is a digestive, serine protease that hydrolyzes dietary proteins in many eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms. Chymotrypsin predominantly cleaves peptide chains at the carboxyl side of the aromatic phenylalanine, tryptophan, and tyrosine amino acids. BioAssay System’s QuantiFluo™ Chymotrypsin Inhibitor Assay Kit uses a fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-labeled synthetic substrate. The fluorescein label is highly quenched. Upon digestion by chymotrypsin present in the sample, the substrate is cleaved into smaller peptides, which abolishes the quenching of the fluorescence label. The fluorescence or fluorescence polarization (FP) of the FITC-labeled fragments is measured at λex/em = 485/530 nm. Inhibition is determined by the decrease in fluorescence.Is chymotrypsin enzyme or inhibitor included in the kit?
The customer must provide their own enzyme and inhibitor. We used purified chymotrypsin (MedChemExpress, cat# HY108910) and trypsin soybean inhibitor (Cayman Chemical, cat# 14502)
Can the substrate be refrozen after use?
While the substrate can handle a few freeze-thaw cycles, if the customer plans to run many tests, it would be best to aliquot the substrate into light-protected tubes and thaw as needed.
Does chymotrypsin solution need to be prepared fresh for each assay run? I know that, after some time, proteases like chymotrypsin may begin to digest themselves.
To prevent autodigestion, pure chymotrypsin solutions can be stored long term at -80°C under acidic conditions (1 mM HCl, pH 3.0). 2 mM CaCl2 can be added to stabilize the stock solution.
