LITERATURE
Depletion of Ca2+ increases the rate of autolysis after about 48 h, it reduces the thermal stability and enhances the deactivation by 8 M urea
-
interaction of proteinase K with spermine, multispectroscopic study and molecular simulation, structure-function analysis, overview. The stability and enzyme activity of proteinase K-spermine complex are significantly enhanced as compared to the pure enzyme, secondary structure alteration of proteinase K with an increase in alpha-helicity and a decrease in beta-sheet of proteinase K upon spermine conjugation
proteinase K is losing the proteolytic activity as the enzyme is attaining beta conformation
-
Relatively resistant to SDS, 0.2% in 50 mM Tris/HCl, pH 7.4
-
Relatively stable towards heat and denaturing agents
-
Urea, 4 M, stable
