What happens if you add too much proteinase k to a lysis buffer when performing DNA extraction?

it depends what "too much" is. a concentration up to 1mg/mL or slightly higher can be still ok. proteinase K should digest only proteins, leaving your DNA intact.


What is the role of protinase K in DNA isolation?

I believe the role of proteinase K in a DNA isolation is just to digest proteins. Proteinase K is a protein digesting enzyme. Digesting proteins is important in a DNA isolation because the proteins included in your DNA before you treat it with proK likely include some DNAses. If you didn't use proK, your DNA would degrade very quickly.


What is the quickest most effective way to inactivate Proteinase K?

As with most protein enzymes change the temperature or change the pH significantly.


What is the function of Proteinase K in DNA extraction?

Proteinase K is most often used in extracting DNA from while blood cells (or leukocytes). The first step in DNA isolation is to break open the cell and release the cytoplasmic contents, which includes the nucleus, in which we find DNA. Proteinase K is a protease (an enzyme capable of digesting proteins). It is used to digest the cell surface proteins. When cell surface proteins are digested, the integrity of the cell membrane is compromised leading to cell lysis (or the breaking open of the cell)


What is the difference between protease and proteinase?

No difference. Proteinase is the proper term, but protease has become a widely accepted alternative.


What is an antiproteinase?

An antiproteinase is an inhibitor of proteinase activity.


How do you prepare 50mM TES buffer?

In order to prepare 50mM TES buffer, you will need to add in approximately 1000 ml of Proteinase K solution. From there, you will need to separate and stack the gels.

What has the author Edward A Fox written?

Edward A. Fox has written: 'Isolation and characterization of a proteinase inhibitor II gene from Lycopersicon esculentum' -- subject(s): Enzyme inhibitors, Genetics, Proteinase, Tomatoes


Where does the activation of proteinase inhibitor genes occur?

In the nucleus of the affected cells.
