Purity
> 95% by SDS-PAGE. The protein is observed, in denaturing conditions, as a single band migrating at a molecular weight between 35.0 and 45.0 kDa.
Supplied as
0.15 mg/mL solution in Tris 20 mM pH 7.2, CaCl
2 5 mM, ZnCl
2 0.1 mM, NaCl 0.3 M, acetohydroxamic acid (AHA) 0.5 M, glycerol 10%, Brij35 0.05%. The concentration is calculated by the analysis of the absorbance at 280 nm (ε
