Lysostaphin from Staphylococcus staphylolyticus, lyophilized powder, Protein 50-70 % by biuret, >=50
Biochem/physiol Actions
Lysostaphin is a zinc endopeptidase with a molecular weight of approximately 25 kDa. Because lysostaphin cleaves the polyglycine cross-links in the peptidoglycan layer of the cell wall of Staphylococcus species it has been found useful for cell lysis and also as a potential anti-microbial therapeutic. pH Optimum for activity: ~7.5
