Recombinant E.coli Beta-lactamase protein

• Cat.No.: TEM-1-8922H
• Product Overview: Recombinant E.coli Beta-lactamase protein was expressed in E.coli.

Specification

• Description: Beta-lactamases are enzymes produced by some bacteria and are responsible for their resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics like penicillins, cephamycins, and carbapenems. The lactamase enzyme breaks the β-lactam ring open and deactivates the molecule's antibacterial properties because of a common element in these antibiotics molecular structure: a four-atom ring known as a beta-lactam. TEM-1 is the most commonly-encountered beta-lactamase in gram-negative bacteria. Up to 90 % of ampicillin resistance in E. coli is due to the production of TEM-1. Also responsible for the ampicillin and penicillin resistance that is seen in H. influenzae and N. gonorrhoeae in increasing numbers. Based upon different combinations of changes, currently 140 TEM-type enzymes have been described. Recombinant beta-lactamase TEM-1 contains 264 amino acids residues.
• Source: E.coli

• Purity: >95% by SDS-PAGE.
• Storage: Use a manual defrost freezer and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. 12 months from date of receipt, -20 to -70 centigrade as supplied. 1 month, 2 to 8 centigrade under sterile conditions after reconstitution. 3 months, -20 to -70 centigrade under sterile conditions after reconstitution.
• Reconstitution: We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1 % BSA to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at ≤ -20 centigrade. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions.
