METHOD AND KIT FOR UNIVERSAL VERIFICATION OF ENZYME ACTIVITY AND PROTEIN DIGESTION

A method of assessing enzyme function or protein stability is disclosed. A sample having a protein therein is contacted with an enzyme that is suspected of being capable of catalyzing digestion of the protein in order to form a mixture. First and second aliquots are removed from the mixture at first...

Zusammenfassung:A method of assessing enzyme function or protein stability is disclosed. A sample having a protein therein is contacted with an enzyme that is suspected of being capable of catalyzing digestion of the protein in order to form a mixture. First and second aliquots are removed from the mixture at first and second times, respectively, and protein digestion is evaluated using a detection reagent to calculate a change in absorbance between first and second aliquots. The change in absorbance provides an index of enzyme activity, enzyme capability, and protein stability.
