Proteolysis-PrEP: Activity and Specificity of Chymotrypsin Under Pressure Cycling Condition
Introduction
Pressure Cycling Technology (PCT) has been proven to accelerate enzymatic protein digestion. The positive effect of PCT on trypsin digestion is well established for improved sequence coverage, higher recovery and significantly reduced digestion times [1-5]. Additionally, the enhancing effects of PCT on the activity of other enzymes, including Proteinase K, PNGase F, Glu-C, Lys-C, and lysozyme have been reported [6-12].
