Description

Chymotrypsin (Chymotrypsin A) is a serine protease produced by the pancreas. Chymotrypsin cleaves protein chains at the carboxyl side of aromatic amino acids[1][2].
In Vitro

Recommended to reconstitute in 1mM HCl at 10 mg/mL and add 2 mM calcium chloride as stabilizer. Resuspended Chymotrypsin can be stored for up to one week at 4℃.

Preparation of Protein
1. Solubilization/Denaturation: Dissolve protein in 100mM Tris-HCl, 10mM CaCl2 (pH 8.0). Proteins that are difficult to dissolve or require denaturation for efficient digestion can be solubilized in a minimum volume in a denaturant such as 6-8M urea or 6M guanidine HCl at room temperature to 37℃ for up to one hour. For some proteins, it may be beneficial to heat the sample to 60℃ over this time period (95℃ for 15-20 minutes for extreme cases).
2. Disulphide Reduction: To the dissolved protein add DTT (or β-mercaptoethanol) to a final concentration of 5mM; heat this sample at 50-60℃ for 20 minutes.
3. Alkylation: Allow the reduced protein mixture to cool to room temperature, and add iodoacetamide to a final concentration of 15mM. Incubate in the dark for 15 minutes at room temperature.
4. Finally adjust the reaction volume with 100mM Tris-HCl, 10mM CaCl2 (pH 8.0) such that the urea or guanidine concentration is 1M or less.
Enzyme Reconstitution
Dissolve Chymotrypsin in 1mM HCl. We recommend a final concentration 0.5-1 μg/μL.
Digestion
Add Chymotrypsin to a final protease:protein ratio of 1:200 to 1:20 (w/w), and incubate sample for 2-18 hours at 25℃. The reaction may be stopped, if desired, by adding 0.5% trifluoroacetic acid.

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% Corn Oil

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL; Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
