General description

Chemical structure: peptide
Package size based on protein content

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

Unit Definition

One unit will reduce the turbidity (A620) of a suspension of Staphylococcus aureus cells from 0.250 to 0.125 in 10 min at pH 7.5 at 37 °C in a 6.0 ml reaction mixture.

Physical form

Contains potassium phosphate buffer salts and sodium chloride

Aspects of the fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) method for the detection of clinically important bacteria, such as Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Escherichia coli, were investigated for optimization. Various approaches to optimizing the FISH procedure were taken and different
