General description

Trypsin is a serine protease that is usually used in biochemistry and biology as an important enzymatic reagent. 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.

Application

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

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.. The enzyme also exhibits esterase and amidase activities. Trypsin acts as a cell culture tool. It is used to hydrolyze allergenic proteins to produce hypoallergenic milk in industries.

  8. How can we get Trypsin sequence information for Product T6567, Trypsin from porcine pancreas?

    If you are looking for trypsin sequence information, you have to go to the NCBI Protein Data Bank.

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

    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.

Pretreatment with Mucinase StcE increases glycopeptide identification from mucin samples, enhancing sample preparation efficiency for glycopeptide analysis.

The field of proteomics is continually looking for new ways to investigate protein dynamics within complex biological samples. Recently, many researchers have begun to use RNA interference (RNAi) as a method of manipulating protein levels within their samples, but the ability to accurately determine these protein amounts remains a challenge. Fortunately, over the past decade, the field of proteomics has witnessed significant advances in the area of mass spectrometry. These advances, both in instrumentation and methodology, are providing researchers with sensitive assays for both identification and quantification of proteins within complex samples. This discussion will highlight some of these methodologies, namely the use of Multiple Reaction Monitoring (MRM) and Protein-AQUA.
