Thermolysin, Bacillus thermoproteolyticus rokko  (Synonyms: EC 3.4.24.27; TML)

Thermolysin, Bacillus thermoproteolyticus rokko (EC 3.4.24.27) (TML) is a thermostable neutral metalloproteinase enzyme secreted by the Gram-positive bacteria Bacillus thermoproteolyticus. Thermolysin catalyzes the hydrolysis of peptide bonds containing hydrophobic residues^[1].

Optimal pH: 8.0. Considerably stable from pH 5 to 9.5.
Optimal temperature : 70 °C

Thermolysin (1 mL 中 100 μg，64°C，4 小时，在分离的淀粉颗粒中) 消化可选择性去除一组 10 至 27 kD 之间的低分子量蛋白质^[2].
Thermolysin 可用于水解牛肝肌浆蛋白^[3]。
