Product Description
Proteinase K (Protease K) is a non-specific serine protease used for protein digestion. Proteinase K is active over a wide range of pH values (4-12), salt concentrations and temperature units in the presence of SDS or urea. Proteinase K may be utilized to improve methods for extracting and detecting viral nucleic acids.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
The amid link between MTX and BSA as well as the amidic bond within the BSA structure can be broken by the enzyme proteinase K[2]. Guidelines (This is our suggested protocol; it should be adjusted to meet your unique needs; it is merely meant to serve as a guide). Without the need for RNA extraction, the SARS-COV2 viral component can be directly detected from inoculation viral transport medium (VTM) using proteinase K, which has better protein-degrading capabilities[3]. The steps involved in the rRTPCR detection protocol for SARS-CoV2 are as follows: 1. Divide the VTM of each SARS-COV2 sample into three 45 μL EP tubes; 2. Add 2.5 µL (20 mg/mL) concentrated proteinase K (PK), resulting in a final concentration of PK ~1 mg/ml VTM; 3. Incubate at 25 °C for 5 min; 4. Incubate at 60 °C for 15 min; 5. Incubate at 98 °C for 10 min, and store the samples at 4 °C. 6. Use 5 µL of extracted RNA as template to carry out the rRTPCR assay; 7. Utilize the BIORAD CFX96™ Real-Time Thermocycler for rRTPCR detection, with a positive standard of threshold cycle (Ct) values less than 40. Proteinase K raises the concentration of nucleic acids recovered from sputum samples and enhances their homogenization effects and positive rates[4]. The procedure for extracting influenza A virus (IAV) nucleic acid is as follows: 1. Divide the specimen into three 500 μL EP tubes; 2. Add 500 μL of Proteinase K buffer (0.4 mg/mL); 3. Incubate at 55 °C for 25 minutes, vortexing every five minutes; 4. Extract RNA using the Automated Nucleic Acid Extraction System (Zhijiang Biotechnology Co., Ltd., Shanghai, China) using 200 μL samples; 5. Assess the A260/A280 ratio of pure RNA products, using a standard range of 1.8 to 2.0.

Solubility in Formulation 1: 50 mg/mL (Infinity mM) in PBS (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution; with sonication.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)
Preparing Stock Solutions 1 mg 5 mg 10 mg
1 mM 1.5962 mL 7.9808 mL 15.9617 mL
5 mM 0.3192 mL 1.5962 mL 3.1923 mL
10 mM 0.1596 mL 0.7981 mL 1.5962 mL

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
