PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Elastase
Application Notes
Elastase was used to study human emphysema by induction of emphysema in rodents. It has been used in a study to investigate the design, synthesis and evaluation of biomimetic affinity ligands for elastases. Elastase from porcine pancreas has also been used in a study to investigate the purification and partial characterization of the pancreatic proteolytic enzymes trypsin, chymotrypsin, and elastase. It hydrolyzes peptide bonds, especially those adjacent to neutral amino acids.

Preparation Method
: Elastase is prepared from porcine pancreas. It is lyophilized and water soluble. Elastase is chromatographically prepared by the method of Narayanan and Anwar. In the method, 2 times crystalline elastase is adsorbed on a column of DEAE-Sephadex A50 to separate elastase and non-specific protein components. The elastase component is further purified by chromatography on a column of CM-Cellulose using a sodium chloride gradient to elute the elastase. The latter is dialyzed until chloride-free and then lyophilized. During its preparation the elastase is held below a pH of 5.5 for greater than 24 hours. Two times crystallized from the euglobin fraction of porcine pancreas by the method of Lewis et al. Does not contain trypsin or chymotrypsin.
