Enzima

Multi-copper oxidase from the family of polyphenol oxidades. It can be also found in many plants and bacteria. Laccase catalyses the oxidation of phenolic compounds such as lignin. It can oxidase non phenolic groups too with the use of mediators, chemical agents involved in the transfer of the electrons during the reaction. In some cases, laccase can also oxidise halogenated compounds. This enzyme is used for enzymatic assays, lignol screening tests and for waste water treatment to remove biodegrdable pollutants.

Copper-containing enzyme that catalyzes the first step in the synthesis of melanin

Aldehyde dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.3) is the enzyme that catalyzes oxidation of aldehydes to carboxilic acids, using NAD+ as a cofactor in the following reaction: R-CHO + NAD+ + H2O → R-COOH + NADH + H+    One enzyme unit will oxidize 1.0 μmole of acetaldehyde to acetic acid per min at 25 °C at pH 8.0 in the presence of β-NAD+, potassium and thiols.

Cymit Quimica’s econoLuciferase™ (econoLuc Cymit Quimica Cat. No. L-8090) is a recombinant luciferase from the firefly Luciola lateralis that has been expressed as a luciferase-GFP fusion protein in E. coli.The luciferase enzyme has been optimized for increased thermo-stability by genetic modification to be stable for one hour at 37°C and up to two days at room temperature.Stabilized econoLuciferase™ thus overcomes the disadvantages and limitations of wild-type Luciferase, notably its short active life, outperforming enzyme from the Photinus pyralis firefly for both performance and stability.This optimized luciferase is the perfect enzyme for ATP detection assays in hygiene control, microbial tests using caged luciferins and it is the luciferase of choice for biochemical tests measuring ATP consumption and production in diverse enzymatic reactions.The product L-8090 is available on a large scale and is intended for use in the chemical, diagnostic, pharmaceutical and related industries.

Isoamylase (also known as debranching enzyme, systemic name glycogen α-1,6-glucanohydrolase; EC 3.2.1.68) is the enzyme that cleaves α-1,6-glucosidic branch linkages in carbohydrates, namely amylopectin or glycogen.

20mg/ml aq. solution.  Proteinase K is used for the general digestion of proteins and removal of protein contamination in nucleic acids. Addition of Protease K also stabilizes nucleic acids but degrading any nucleases present. Proteinase K is active in wide range of pH range, in the presence of SDS, urea and Guanidinium chloride at low to moderate concentrations. Proteinase K is also known under names of protease K and endopeptidase K.

Elastase (EC 3.4. 21.36) is a serine protease that breaks down elastin fibers. One unit of Elastase release 1 nmol of p-nitrophenol per sec from BOC-L-alanine p-nitrophenyl ester at pH 6.5 and 37°C

Lipase 16 recombinantly expressed in E. coli comes in a spray-dried formulation. It has its pH optimum at 7-8 and temp. optimum at >40°C. Lipases belong to the family of esterases and naturally act on triglycerides at lipid-water interfaces catalyzing hydrolytic reactions, esterifications and transesterification reactions in industrial and food applications. Lipase 16 was shown to hydrolyze p-Nitrophenyl esters of butyrate (58 % activity compared to octanoate), octanoate (100 %), laurate (40 %), palmitate (27 %), stearate (13 %), arachidate (2 %) and behenate (0.2 %).
