Merck, A6103-1MG, Aprotinin Nicotiana tobacco, >= 5TIU/mg protein, >= 98 % SDS-PAGE | 9087-70-1

Preparation Note
Contains no animal-derived components or impurities, and is manufactured by transient expression of the aprotinin message in RNA (+)-strand tobacco mosaic virus vectors propagated in non-transgenic Nicotiana plants. This is a recombinant form of the native, bovine-sequence aprotinin, which is traditionally isolated from bovine lung by methods involving fractional precipitation, gel filtration, and ion exchange chromatography. Unlike animal-derived aprotinin, this product is isolated and purified from plant tissue by proprietary methods.
Other Notes
One trypsin inhibitor unit (TIU) will decrease the activity of 2 trypsin units by 50% where one trypsin unit will hydrolyze 1.0 μmole of N-α-benzoyl-DL-arginine p-nitroanilide (BAPNA) per min at pH 7.8 at 25 °C.
