General description
Pefabloc SC is a specific, potent, and irreversible inhibitor of serine proteases. The inhibitory activity is comparable to PMSF or DFP, but Pefabloc SC is non-toxic.
Specificity
Pefabloc SC belongs to the family of sulfonyl fluorides which irreversibly block serine proteases. Pefabloc SC was also described as potent serine threonine phosphatase inhibitor.
Application
- Pefabloc SC is used to inhibit the detrimental effects of proteases during preparative protein purification.
- Due to its low toxicity toward eukaryotic cells, it may be applied in the production of recombinant proteins, during fermentation of transformed cells, where proteolytic digestion may decrease the yield of the desired product.
- Pefabloc SC is used to completely inactivate proteinase K during the preparation of chromosomal DNA in agarose plugs. For this purpose, the cells are embedded in agarose and digested with proteinase K to degrade all proteins. Before a specific restriction endonuclease is added, the proteinase K is inactivated by incubating the agarose plugs in 1 to 5 mM Pefabloc SC in 10 mM Tris-HCl, 1 mM EDTA , pH 7 for 2 hours at +37 °C or overnight.
- In contrast to PMSF, Pefabloc SC is an excellent blocker of thrombin activity in serum or plasma. In these biological fluids, PMSF interacts in a reversible manner with albumin, which reduces its free concentration and leads to a delay in thrombin inactivation. Pefabloc SC, however, does not react with serum albumin, and exhibits a threefold higher capacity to inactivate thrombin under similar conditions.
- Pefabloc SC can be used on living cells.
- Use Pefabloc SC to inactivate proteinase K, for example, during pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE).With this technique, isolating the genomic DNA requires proteinase K to degrade cellular components, and this highly resilient protease is difficult to inactivate. Pefabloc SC inhibits proteinase K, and protects the stability of restriction enzymes used for further DNA analysis.
Features and Benefits
- Benefit from an easy-to-use inhibitor. Add water-soluble Pefabloc SC directly to aqueous buffers.
- Avoid hazardous compounds. Obtain non-toxic protease inhibition without risk to you, or those around you (see Figure 1).
- Ensure protection with improved stability. Achieve consistent protease inhibition even at pH levels above 7.0 and temperatures above +4°C (see Figure 2).
- Maximize inhibition. Be certain that your levels of active inhibitor are high enough by using a product that is reliably soluble and stable.

Preparation Note
Working concentration: 0.1 to 1 mg/ml (0.4 to 4 mM)
Working solution: Solvent is recommended in aqueous buffers or distilled water up to 100 mg/ml.
Storage conditions (working solution): -15 to -25 °C (stock solution)
The stability of Pefabloc SC in aqueous solution is affected both by pH and temperature. Concentrated stock solutions (e.g., 100 mM) prepared in dist. water are acidic and stable for 1 to 2 months at -15 to -25 °C, if stored in aliquots.
Note: Store Pefabloc SC under acidic conditions and add to biological samples shortly before use to minimize hydrolysis.
Working solution: Solvent is recommended in aqueous buffers or distilled water up to 100 mg/ml.

Reconstitution
Soluble up to 100 mg/ml in aqueous buffers or water. Stable in solution for 1 to 2 months if stored in aliquots at -15 to -25 °C. Only slight hydrolysis occurs under weakly basic conditions (pH 8.0 to 9.0).

The acylated/unacylated ghrelin (AG/UAG) ratio has been reported to range from 0·02 to 0·3, suggesting biologically relevant independent regulation of each ghrelin isoform. However, AG is deacylated to UAG by esterases in blood samples, and esterase inhibition is critical for

Recent studies have shown that the phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of ULK1 and ATG13 are related to autophagy activity. Although ATG16L1 is absolutely required for autophagy induction by affecting the formation of autophagosomes, the post-translational modification of ATG16L1 remains elusive. Here
