Synonyms:
Lysostaphin, Glycyl-glycine endopeptidase.
Description:
Background: Lysostaphin, an endopeptidase specific for the cell wall peptidoglycan of staphylococci, is an extremely potent anti-staphylococcal agent. Lysostaphin is used as a research and diagnostic tool. Because it lyses staphylococci efficiently, it is
Physical State:
Lyophilized
Formulation:
Lyophilized from a sterile filtered solution without additives.
Purity:
94.8% by HPLC analysis
Specific Activity:
4,135 U/mg (Determined by the decrease in turbidity of a suspension of heat-killed Staphylococcus aureus at pH8.0, 30�C).
Endotoxin Level:
<0.1 ng/�g
Reconstitution:
Centrifuge vial prior to opening. Reconstitute in 20 mM sodium acetate, pH 4.5. The solution can then be further diluted in other aqueous buffers.
Storage/Stability:
Lyophilized protein is stable at 2-4℃C for 6 months, but is preferably stored desiccated at -20℃C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
