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.
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.
Biochem/physiol Actions
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.
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.
