General description

Trypsin is a serine protease that is usually used in biochemistry and biology as an important enzymatic reagent.[1] This method produces a highly purified trypsin product suitable for proteomics research. Proteomics Grade ideal for use in both solution and in-gel tryptic digestions. Trypsin, a serine protease, is present in the digestive system of several vertebrates.[2]

Application

Trypsin from porcine pancreas is used for the following applications:
  • In-gel protein digestion and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry analysis[3]
  • Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry (ESI-MS) analysis[4]
  • Surface proteome profiling of L. plantarum[5]
  • Gel Filtration, Ultracentrifugation, and Rotary Shadowing Electron Microscopy[6]
  • Mass spectrometry[7][8]

Biochem/physiol Actions

Trypsin is routinely used in proteomics research for peptide mapping and protein sequence work, due to its highly specific cleavage resulting in a limited number of tryptic peptides. It hydrolyzes peptide bonds specifically at the carboxyl side of arginine and lysine residues.[2]. The enzyme also exhibits esterase and amidase activities.[9] Trypsin acts as a cell culture tool. It is used to hydrolyze allergenic proteins to produce hypoallergenic milk in industries.[1]

  2. Is Product T6567, Trypsin from porcine pancreas, TPCK treated?

    1 answer
    1. The product has been treated with TPCK to remove chymotryptic activity, further purified through affinity chromatography, and lyophilized, resulting in convenient use and highly specific cleavage. This information is on the product page under application.

  3. How can we digest protein using Product T6567, Trypsin from porcine pancreas?

    1 answer
    1. As per Sigma R and D the information is as follows: In order to efficiently digest a protein with trypsin, it must be denatured and the disulfide bonds modified by reduction and alkylation, or at least reduced. Many intact proteins are highly resistant to digestion with trypsin. If you do not want to reduce and alkylate, you can then just boil the protein with 5 mM DTT or 20 mM 2ME for 10 minutes, and then quickly cool on ice to denature the protein. This may result in a precipitate, but the trypsin will still digest the protein and it will clear within an hour or two. You can also dissolve the protein in 6 M guanidine-HCl or 8 M urea. Reduce and alkylate using the PROT-RA kit or other suitable method. Then they would have to dilute the solution to less than 2 M of either denaturant and then add the trypsin. This is the method that we use routinely in the lab.
