Description
Alpha-lytic protease (aLP) is an alternative specificity protease for proteomics applications. This protease cleaves after T, A, S, and V residues. It geneRates peptides of similar average length as trypsin. aLP was first isolated from the myxobacterium Lysobacter enzymogenes. The pro-form of aLP is 397 amino acids long. In its mature form, aLP is 198 amino acids long. Its tertiary structural core resembles those of pancreatic serine proteases.
