Biological Activity
In-Solution Digestion Protocol
1. Resuspend Elastase in double-distilled water to a final concentration of 1 mg/mL. Store reconstituted Elastase at 4°C for up to 2 weeks.
2. Resuspend the protein in reaction buffer.
3. Add Elastase to protein solution; mix. We recommended using enzyme:protein ratios of 1:20 to 1:100.
4. Incubate 2-18 hours at 37°C.
5. Stop the reaction by adding 10% formic acid or TFA to a final concentration of 0.5% or by heating at 95°C for 10 minutes.
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

≥40 U/mg protein
One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme required to hydrolyze 1 mg Congo red-elastin within 30 min at 37°C, pH 7.0.
