Sphingomyelinase (SMase, Sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase, systematic name sphingomyelin cholinephosphohydrolase; EC 3.1.4.12) is an enzyme that hydrolyses sphingomyelin into phosphocholine and ceramide. One unit of sphingomyelinase will hydrolyze 1.0 µmole of chromogenic substrate analogue per minute at pH 7.4 and 37 °C.

β-Glucuronidase (EC 3.2.1.31) is an enzyme that hydrolyzes glucuronides. It can also be used to cleave benzodiazepine and steroid conjugates. One unit of β-Glucuronidase will hydrolyze a chromogenic substrate mimic 4-nitrophenyl-β-D-glucuronide to produce 1.0 μmole of 4-nitrophenol per minute at pH 5.0 and 37 °C.

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.

Lipase 14 recombinantly expressed in E. coli comes in a spray-dried formulation. It has its pH optimum at 6-8 and temp. optimum at 30-40°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 14 was shown to hydrolyze p-Nitrophenyl esters of butyrate (74 % activity compared to octanoate), octanoate (100 %), laurate (8 %), palmitate (5 %), stearate (4 %), arachidate (1 %) and behenate (0.6 %).

Alpha-L-iduronidase is a glycoside hydrolase enzyme that cleaves the non-reducing, terminal alpha-L-iduronic acid residues from polysaccharides and oligosaccharides. Alpha-L-iduronidase is involved in the lysosomal degradation of glycosaminoglycans and its deficiency leads to the accumulation of dermatan sulphate and heparan sulphate in tissues, a condition known as mucopolysaccharidosis I (MPS I). Alpha-L-iduronidase activity can be detected and quantified in an assay using a fluorogenic substrate 4MU-alpha-L-idopyranosiduronic acid. Alpha-L-iduronidase is also used in a 2-step assay for Hunter syndrome (MPS II) testing in combination with 4-MU-alpha-L-idopyranosiduronic acid 2-sulphate.
This enzyme is supplied as a 2 mg/mL aqueous solution in 25 mM sodium acetate, 150 mM NaCl, 50% glycerol, pH 5.0 from a bacterial source, recombinantly expressed in Escherichia coli (see application notes for more details). Alpha-L-iduronidase is also available as lyophilisate (FA181881)

Lipase 37 recombinantly expressed in E. coli comes in a spray-dried formulation. It has its pH optimum at 8-9 and temp. optimum at <50°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 37 was shown to hydrolyze p-Nitrophenyl esters of butyrate (48 % activity), octanoate (100 %), laurate (85 %), palmitate (5 %) and stearate (1 %).
