Chymotrypsin, Human Pancreas

Lyophilized powder may be stored at -20 °C. Stable for 12 months at -20 °C. Reconstitute with sterile ddH2O. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20 °C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.

In addition to bonds involving aromatic amino acids, chymotrypsin catalyzes at a high rate the hydrolysis of bonds of leucyl, methionyl, asparaginyl, and glutamyl residues. A recent study has been made by Berezin and Martinek (1970) and Baumann et al. (1970).
