Pierce* Carboxypeptidase Y and Resin
Thermo Scientific* Pierce Carboxypeptidase Y is a protease with that is able to cleave (release) any terminal amino acid including proline from the C-terminus of peptides; the immobilized form allows sample separation after treatment.
Pierce* Factor Xa
Thermo Scientific* Pierce Factor Xa is a serine endopeptidase composed of two disulfide-linked subunits, whose specificity makes it particular useful in cleaving 6xHis tags from engineered His-tagged fusion proteins.
Pierce* Human Rinovirus 3C Protease (HRV 3C)
Thermo Scientific* Pierce Human Rhinovirus (HRV) 3C Protease is a recombinant cysteine protease used to remove fusion tags from proteins with the HRV 3C cleavage sequence and is dual tagged for easy removal from the sample after cleavage.
Pierce* Immobilized Ficin
Thermo Scientific* Pierce Immobilized Ficin consists of a sulfhydryl-specific protease (ficin) that has been immobilized onto beaded agarose resin to enable controlled antibody fragmentation, especially of mouse IgG1.
Pierce* Immobilized Papain
Thermo Scientific* Pierce Immobilized Papain consists of a cysteine-endopeptidase (papain) that has been immobilized onto beaded agarose resin to enable generation and purification of Fab fragments from antibodies.
Pierce* Immobilized Pepsin
Thermo Scientific* Pierce Immobilized Pepsin consists of an acidic endopeptidase (pepsin) that has been immobilized onto beaded agarose resin to enable generation and purification of Fab and F(ab')2 fragments from antibodies.
Pierce* In-Gel Tryptic Digestion Kit
Thermo Scientific* Pierce In-Gel Tryptic Digestion Kit provides a complete set of reagents for digesting and recovering peptide fragments from approximately 150 digestions on stained protein bands excised from SDS-PAGE.
Pierce* In-Solution Tryptic Digestion and Guanidination Kit
Thermo Scientific* Pierce In-Solution Tryptic Digestion and Guanidination Kit contains proteomics-grade trypsin, buffers and reagents to alkylate and digest proteins and then guanidinate the peptide fragments for mass spectrometry.
Pierce* Proteases for Mass Spectrometry
These Thermo Scientific* Pierce Proteases are small, convenient packages of individual, purified highly-specific proteases for use in various combinations to obtain better sequence coverage and protein identification for mass spectrometry.
Pierce* Proteinase K
Thermo Scientific* Pierce Proteinase K is a protease that cleaves at the carboxyl side of aliphatic, aromatic or hydrophobic residues and is commonly used to digest and inactivate DNase and RNase during in nucleic acid purification.
